Giovanni Viberti
La Gemella Barbera d'Alba
Alba, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
Juicy, quite fleshy and fresh
Enjoyable, but nothing more

Dinner at the producer’s restaurant Buon Padre in Vergne, just west of Barolo; the wine is deep blueish-purple in color and with viscous leggy texture (dry, 14% alc.); blue and dark tart fruits and country spices on the nose; medium acids and dry small tannins on the palate with a fruity sinple and robust character, without oak. Seems very well made.

Smooooooth. Licorice. Smells woodsy on the nose but does not taste woodsy. Did I say smooooooth?

We like Barbera and Nebbiolo and enjoyed this value model. Very good.

Great medium to full bodied wine, pairs well with pizza. Crowd pleasure. Fruity overtones, smooth

Had with grilled pizza. Terrific. This is a nice barbera- fruity-blackberry and a little tartness, nice acids. Pretty fun drinking.
