Cascina Liuzzi
Sil Barbera D'Asti Superiore
Asti, Piedmont, Italy
A bottle that's really makes you question the 'superiore' classification. The extra alcohol really brings this wine out of balance and takes away a lot of the varieties charm and food friendliness. I feel 'inferiore' would be more apt. Don't get me started on Italian Wine Law!

Smooth, but not the barbera we've been searching for. Strong on the nose when in the glass, perhaps needed decanting. Clean and drinkable. Purchased at Hawaii Kai Costco 5/2015. $18ish

May 2nd, 2015It's a 90 at the price point. Decanting is a must, but after that, quite good.
