Barbera d'Alba 2006
Sandrone (Italy)
Barbera d'Alba (Piedmont)
This Barbera d'Alba shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of ruby
red, little transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and
refined aromas which start with hints of cherry, plum and violet followed
by aromas of blueberry, blackberry, vanilla, chocolate, tobacco, mace and
menthol. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack and
however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors, agreeable. The
finish is persistent with flavors of cherry, plum and blueberry. This
Barbera d'Alba ages for 12 months in cask followed by 9 months of aging in
bottle. |

I vini di Sandrone sono sempre una certezza. Anche questa barbera è davvero convincente e piacevolissima, con un bellissimo equilibrio fra la tipica acidità del vitigno e la morbidezza dell'invecchiamento in botte. Ciliegia, prugna e piccoli frutti di bosco si intrecciano a belle sensazioni terziarie e balsamiche.
In bocca è di bella morbidezza e giustamente robusto. Ottima la persistenza.
