The wine 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, vanilla, tobacco, pink pepper, licorice, 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, plum and
blueberry. Barbera d'Alba Superiore Funtanì ages in cask for 15 months
followed by at least 6 months of aging in bottle.
