Ciabot Berton is based in Piedmont in La Morra, one of the finest Barolo producing communes. They also make Barbera, this one being an absolute stunner. Less than 1000 cases of this Barbera is produced annually, and it offers a red fruited nose, a dense and fleshy palate bedecked with black fruits, cherries and blueberries. It’s a big wine, worth having with a quality char grilled steak.

For the Romesco sauce, have a look at our recipe for Patatas Bravas.
The Meatballs
Fry off a finely chopped onion and clove of garlic, adding a couple of spoons of smoked spanish pimenton piccante and a couple of spoons of dulce paprika. After it has cooled, whack it in a bowl with half a cup of breakcrumbs, 1kg of good beef mince and about 400 grams of fresh, skinned chorizo. Mix well and form into medium sized balls and brown them. Heat the Romesco sauce in a saucepan, enough to cover the browned meatballs once you add them. You can add shredded parsley before serving. Simmer until you need to open another bottle of red, and serve with a good crusty loaf. This is a hearty dish, great with medium bodied reds like Tempranillo or Grenache and Patatas Bravas.
Our Italian Imports have landed!
We tasted hundreds of wines earlier this year at the massive German Trade wine fair, Prowein, at the Italian wine expo Vinitaly and throughout various Italian wine regions. Overseas we tasted and reviewed the wines at least twice and then we did it all again as a panel back in Australia, tasting and reviewing the best wines from those shortlisted for consideration. We settled on a very select few - just the 17 superb wines which are now in stock. Drum roll please…
Here’s a little info on each of the wineries from which we have chosen to import these beautiful wines:
