All done in stainless steel, no wood! Very rich and round. Single vineyard wine. ABV 13. Passports wine dinner with wild boar bolognese. Yum.

Today I'm tasting a Barbera D'Alba from Piedmont. Dark ruby with a watery appearance in the glass, very light nose with notes of flowery pungent ammonia, and cherry, slight grapefruit, blackberries and tin. Medium bodied on the palate with black cherry, black licorice, leather, ash, and a sharp astringent pepper. The finish is long and lasting, with an acidity that is pleasant. I do like this wine, but it needs to pair with Marinara Sauce or a mild cheese (Brie de Paris) to act as a base to this acidity. A very nice Italian red, not a Barolo, but nice.

Delicious, well rounded fruit flavors that stay fresh on your tongue. Minimal acid and tannins makes you want to drink more.
