Michele Chiarlo La Court Nizza Barbera d'Asti - wonderful dried berry, worn leather, earthy organic hints. Finish is a tad hot at 14% abv but not super noticeable

Michele Chiarlo. Awesome Barbera, as usual. Full bodied, alcoholic and somewhat dry but as it opened up it mellowed out a bit. Would definitely have over and over but again, pretty high price point
