Cascina Nuova Barbera d'Alba

Will be amazing with a little age.

Jolie nez de cerises, un peu serrez en bouche, en peu jeune mais fin.

Lacks character. Out of balance.

Love the juicy fruit, lively acid, oppulence & supple texture of this fine beverage!

Diggin' the Barbera!

2011 Elio Altare Barbera Luscious, opulent, edge of funk #FilthyNowVino $30 @CityWineStore #filthygoodvino

Raspberry, rose, magenta, raspberry, currants, boysenberry, acid and tannin balanced

Very nice notes of blackberry, plum and vanilla. A bit young and will soften. Delicious!

Acidity and French oak is intrusive, not enough local character. It does have dimensionality and polish, thanks to the expert farming and winemaking skill. Good wine but seems indifferent and little complacent.
