Barbera d'Asti (Piedmont)

Barbera
Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧

This Barbera shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of garnet red, little transparency. The nose reveals good personality with intense, clean, pleasing and elegant aromas of black cherry, blueberry, plum and violet followed by good aromas of vanilla, licorice, dried rose as well as a hint of menthol. In the mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a slightly tannic attack however well balanced by alcohol, full body and intense flavors. The finish is persistent with good flavors of plum, black cherry and blueberry. A well made wine. This Barbera ages in barrique for some months followed by a short aging in bottle.
