This is a producer that over-delivers.
The Barbera d'Alba (Barbera from the DOC of Alba) shows bright cherry fruit, sweet plummy notes, rich earth and violet aromas with a hint of blueberry, woodsmoke, iodine and espresso liqueur. The palate is medium-full bodied and smooth with a bright, prickly sensation, the flavours echo the aromas featuring loads of fresh berry fruit and cedar, the acidity is bright and the tannins firm.
Very tasty!
