Cantine Povero’s Maridà Barbera d’Asti is an elegant, fruit‑led expression from a long‑established family winery whose roots in Piedmont stretch back to 1837. The estate works sustainably, avoiding chemical fertilisers and herbicides and relying on solar power and well water, giving a clear sense of place and a gentle environmental footprint.

Maridà is rounded and expressive, with a touch of spice and liquorice. The palate is dry with generous red‑berry fruit wrapped in soft spice.  This style works well with pasta dishes, risotto, Gorgonzola‑based plates, bagna càuda and other savoury, aromatic foods that complement its freshness and gentle spice.
