Popped and poured; consumed over two days. Best on day two. The 2019 “Ca’ del Buc” pours a slightly glass staining ruby; medium+ viscosity. On the nose, this is funky tart plums and cherries and something reminiscent of an alleyway on a warm day…but in a good way. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Tart dark and red fruits with minerals. Lip smacking finish. This is a rustic Barbera and a killer value with unmistakable Piedmontese sensibilities. I’m grabbing a case.

Sour cherry, dried strawberry, rosewater, dried savory herbs, wintergreen, cured meat. Pretty, elegant, and lively; velvety-smooth. Delightful and easy to like.

Dried herbs, smoke. Dried strawberry. Cherry. Blackberry. Solid acid. Not of the brighter variety.
