Tasting Notes

The 2020 Barbera d'Alba is gorgeous. Ripe red plum, mocha, spice, leather and tobacco flesh out in a supple, juicy Barbera that will drink well right out of the gate. The 2020 is irresistibly delicious. It spent four months in neutral oak, a relatively short period of aging that works well for this wine.
