Last night, early am flight back to Miami. Not going out with a big bang but instead one final solid bottle of Nebbiolo.

Lightly fragrant, high acidity, dry, 14 ABV.

NOTE: As a statistician, I suspect that my ratings while in Italy may have a built in +0.1 upward bias (e.g., an enhancement due to the experience of being there). With more data, I can test this via regression.

Think this is the wine but no bottle present in a 3-wine Piedmont wine flight at the Grove Restaurant, Austin, TX. This 2017 vintage vino "checks the boxes" for a finer Barbera...we drank several of the kind, though not this one, a month ago in Piedmont, Italy. Tasty balanced subtle easy palate worthy of "swirl", delicious medium to deep dark berry flavor, perfect tannins...fine nose, legs...best of the Piedmont flight. Buy again... — 5 days ago

Sorry, didn't comment on this earlier. This was a nice change... Haven't had the grape in a long while. Definitely want to revisit.

Killer nose. Deep purple fruits, spice and lovely minerality. Palate is concentrated. High toned with terrific grip and minerality. Lovely purity. Great length. Stupid good for a dolcetto. Awesome ripe tannins. Super pure. Wow. Sappy. — 9 hours ago

Blueberry, cherry, earth, licorice, tea, spice, and everything nice. Great Barbera! — 10 days ago

Lovely wine. I was expecting a light wine and it surprisingly had a consistency and appearance of a Cabernet Sauvignon. Earthy with notes of plum and shimeji. Higher alcohol grade invites this wine to a cellar for one or two years more. — 2 days ago

So easy to drink, my mom remarked that it tastes like grape juice lol. Slightly sweet and just a little bit fizzy. Very nice but goes down too quickly! — 6 days ago

Mad love for this. Cherry. Cherry licorice. Licorice finish. But perfect balance. One of the most delicious wines of the year. Brighter than most superiores. I could drink a case of this... In a night. Had it with chicken with juniper berry sauce. Amazing. In a rational world anyone with space would buy 5 cases a year. Bought from fass selections. — 18 days ago

The big brother of the La Gamella, this Barbera superiore has a lighter color and more refined and complex nose of violets, baking spices, mint, liquorice and coffee; and higher acids, stronger blueberry and plum fruitiness, and more tertiary aromas from the age - than the simpler sibling. — 11 days ago
