Opened prior to dinner, no formal notes. This was served alongside a lovely pasta and meatball dish and the table was over the moon with the pairing. The 2018 Barbera d’Alba delivers a lovely mix of dark and red fruits that came across a bit rounder and richer than I expected and it was absolutely lovely! It brings classic structure that is matched with an almost silky texture. Lovely now and should remain so for several years to come. Grazie Tim!

A wonderful wine from the revered Bartolo Mascarello. Dark fruits and toasty oak, vanilla and tobacco balances well with low tannin and medium acidity. Medium finish with medium+ body.
