I drink far too rare Barbera! Have I thought last weekend. Actually it is one of my favorite varieties, which wrongly has a bad reputation held. The widespread grape variety from Piedmont has nowhere near the reputation of its famous neighbor Nebbiolo. I do not believe that so many still remember the fact that it was Barbera wines in the mid-80s the Methylakoholskandal triggered some of the people lost their lives. It is simply the mass and sometimes poor quality, captures the consumers do not like it do Barolo and Barbaresco.
me for one of the unjustly underrated varieties of Italy, was confirmed on the weekend with pleasure drunk wine. The Barbera is also great for aging in oak barrels, giving the wine tannin as well as by nature, doing mostly very good. Fortunately, there are wineries that give her the attention and make great affordable wines, like this one.
Barbera d'Alba Alessandria of the brothers that impressed me with its diversity of flavors, in addition to the classic ripe plum, he talked me mt marzipan, hazelnut, red curry and other spices and did the same in the mouth to score. As equipped, like most Italian classics with a pronounced acidity, makes this a fresh counterpoint to the full and acting almost overripe wine. He never feels wide and intrusive scores but, in spite of 14%, its hedonistic anmimierende kind that lacked neither in length nor fun!
The drunk some time ago Barolo from the same manufacturer has not made nearly as much fun and does a rod more!
Simply Delicious! And that's what matters!
