Barbera d’Alba
“Mezzavilla”, Malabaila di Canale
Enough
talk of these producers established for all of a couple of
minutes, the Malabaila di Canale estate has been producing
wine since 1362 as is proudly displayed on the label and the
current owners, the family of the Count Malabaila, bought
the vineyards in the early 15th century from the Counts of
Roero.

To
add to the delicate, fragrant Arneis “Pradvaj”
which we already list we have just shipped the 2001
Barbera “Mezzavilla”. This is a robust, richly
flavoured, single vineyard Barbera with good, ripe fruit,
made in a modern style and aged in oak barriques for
extra spice and structure.
Malabaila
di Canale supplied wine to the House of Savoy, who were
to become the Kings of Italy, throughout the 16th and
17th centuries. Their wines today are incredibly good
value for such delicious wines with such an amazing
history.
