| 15.0 / 20 |
Region: Barbera d'Alba
Country: Italy
Garnet coloured, the bouquet emphasizes the spices, vanilla mixed together with earthy overtones. Fruit is kept to the background in a set that did not impress me that much.
In the mouth, it is a rounded, tamed wine - specially if you contrast it with younger Barbera d'Albas. Controlled acidity and a good persistence, but the flavors seem to be hiding. It comes along as just another wine, without much flair or personality. Or maybe it is just too subtle for my nose and tongue.
