Franco Serra
Barbera d'Alba
Alba, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
Garnet color with black cherries and plum on the nose and a little heat. Full bodied with some nice mouth feel mid-palate. Good acidity, but nicely balanced. Expected a bit more tannins up front. Detecting them more so in the pleasantly long finish. Blueberries, plums and pomegranates round out a blue fruit dominant taste profile. I could imagine enjoying this with a steak and rosemary seasoned oven roasted potatoes.
