Barbera d'Alba Pian Romualdo 2003
Prunotto (Italy)
Barbera d'Alba (Piedmont)
This Barbera shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of ruby red,
little transparency. The nose denotes intense, clean, pleasing and refined
aromas which start with hints of cherry, violet and plum followed by aromas
of blueberry, strawberry, raspberry, vanilla, chocolate and menthol. The
mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack and pleasing
crispness, however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors. The
finish is persistent with flavors of cherry and plum. Barbera d'Alba Pian
Romualdo ages for 12 months in cask followed by 10 months of aging in
bottle.
