89POINTS - ROBERT PARKER'S THE WINE ADVOCATE [Read More]
Made in neutral barrel, the 2013 Barbera d'Alba Superiore opens to dark fruit intensity and a thick, juicy style. This rewarding expression would pair with creamy pasta dishes or thin-crusted pizza with gorgonzola or smoked ricotta. The mouthfeel is chewy and round with lasting flavors of dark berry, prune and plum.
100% Barbera from vineyard holdings in Cannubi San Lorenzo and Crosia; vines planted in 1960 and 1987. Aged for 18 months in French oak barrels (2nd passage), aged in bottle for three months. Production: 3,600 bottles.
