Mushrooms and Barbera – a pairing rooted in history and bursting with flavor. 🍂🍷🍄🟫
Here in the Pacific Northwest our local wild mushrooms echo those enjoyed in ancient Italy, where Barbera’s generous fruit, medium acidity and soft tannins made it a perfect companion to the flavors of the season.
Here at the Oyster Bar, we take pride in our vast wine selection, including many Italian gems. Barbera’s versatility shines with everything from root vegetables to turkey-and of course, mushrooms!
✨🍷 Folklore has it, the Barbera grape’s name stems from vineyards planted in forests burned by Romans to fend off “barbarians”.
Pair any of our dishes featuring local wild mushrooms with a bottle of ✨🍷Vietti Barbera d’Asti La Crena. Its rich fruit and balanced acidity beautifully complement the earthy flavors of the season.
Experience this timeless pairing for yourself—reserve your table today!
