Bold. Fresh. Barbera with personality and depth.
Cadgal “Mavi” Barbera d’Asti captures the vibrant heart of Piedmont in a glass — a red wine that’s both expressive and beautifully balanced. Crafted from 100% Barbera grapes grown in the rolling hills around Nizza Monferrato, Mavi reflects the dedication of Cadgal’s family-run estate to preserving the region’s authentic winemaking traditions while embracing a contemporary finesse.
Bright ruby in colour, it opens with inviting aromas of red cherries, violets, and a touch of spice. On the palate, it’s fresh and juicy, with lively acidity perfectly balanced by soft tannins and hints of plum, raspberry, and a whisper of vanilla from gentle oak ageing. The result is a wine that feels joyful and refined — full of personality, yet effortlessly drinkable.
For Irish wine lovers, Mavi Barbera d’Asti offers a taste of Italy’s warmth and charm in its most approachable form. It’s perfect for weeknight dinners, pasta dishes, or relaxed evenings with friends. Whether poured alongside a plate of charcuterie or enjoyed by itself, Mavi delivers the energy and brightness that make Barbera one of Italy’s most beloved grapes.
Why we love it:
Mavi delivers everything you want from Barbera: juicy red fruits, refreshing acidity, and a silky mouthfeel — but with an added layer of sophistication from careful oak ageing. It’s approachable yet elegant, and a true standout for Irish wine drinkers seeking authenticity and quality.
