4.0
There are traces of cork taint, but not too much. Lovely bouquet of fruits, spices, and leather. Juicy and tannic, it craves food, yet it's delicious on its own. There's a certain sophistication to this wine. Initially, I planned not to rate it, but it still had so much to tell, so here we are. Obviously, I would love to taste this one again.
About
This Barbera d'Alba is produced from vineyards in Barbaresco and Neive. The grapes are hand-harvested and mechanically pressed. Fermentation and maceration, lasting around 15-20 days, occur in steel tanks. The wine is then aged for 12-15 months in large Slavonian and Swiss oak barrels. Bottling is done in the waning moon phase, with no filtrations or clarifications.
