Cellar Craft Showcase Barbera Piedmont Italy

$155.00


Description

Barbera has been the most popular grape in the Piedmont region in Northwest Italy for centuries. With new vineyard care, especially around Alba and Asti, it has emerged as a top ranked wine which readily withstands comparison to noble Nebbiolo (Barolo) but does not require the extended ageing that Nebbiolo demands. Deep ruby, medium-bodied, and fruity in its youth, it ages to impressive depth and elegance. The fruit in our 2 year old samples remains as fresh and inviting as it was at 6 months. The oak and tannins have mellowed to a soft and well-rounded impression that lifts the fruit to a most attractive level.
