Terra Del Noce Barbera D'Asti Superiore
Old time & aged Barbera. Gamey, even some prickly carbonation(?) at first. Dark fruited core, like wild blackberries. Has a feral quality that paired well with broiled chicken thighs marinated in yogurt, lemon zest, garlic, z’atar, then served w cilantro & Israeli Couscous, raisins, toasted pumpkin seeds.

Jun 22nd, 2021Spoiler alert-I’m a sucker For old school, rustic Italian wines. This clearly fits the bill. Theoretically a 2013 Barbara D’Asti should not be lasting this long but lord this definitely has legs at 14.5% alcohol.. Sage, damp leaves, old forest floor, fermented cherries: this is in my wheelhouse & for about 20$ let’s double down. Since it’s Barbera the tannins take a back seat but they are there. Polaner book. Paired with a Northern Bean/fennel/onion/garlic/ kale/ chicken stock stew on a growingly cold night on the Hudson.
