Serraboella Barbera d'Alba
The 2018 Barbera d'Alba Vigna Serraboella is a real standout. After going through dozens of frankly innocuous Dolcettos, Barbera and Langhe Nebbiolos I was thrilled to taste a wine of true distinction. Rich, ample and generous, the 2018 possesses superb depth and complexity. A rush of black cherry, plum, mocha, spice and licorice lead into the sumptuous finish. What a wine!

2014, after decanting for an hour the finished matches the nose of purple flowers. Great depth and a fun bottle!
