Colli Piacentini Barbera della Stoppa 1999
La Stoppa (Italy)
Colli Piacentini (Emilia-Romagna)
This wine shows a deep ruby red color and nuances of ruby red, little
transparency. The nose reveals good personality with intense, clean,
elegant and pleasing aromas which start with violet, black cherry and
blackberry followed by pleasing and intense aromas of blueberry, plum,
licorice and vanilla. In the mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a
slightly and pleasing crisp attack however well balanced, good tannins,
intense flavors and good body. The finish is persistent with good flavors
of plum, blueberry and black cherry. A well made wine. This Barbera is
aged for 12 months in barrique.
