La Ca' Nova
Barbera d'Alba
Alba, Cuneo, Piedmont, ItalyI love this wine. It’s one of my everyday quaffers. This ‘15 Barbera offers an (almost) Aldo Conterno concentration of classic flavours but lacks the oak treatment, so way much more Barbera nekedness involved here.

Again an excellent showing in QPR. Light on it’s feet (pinot noir like), animalistic, pure. In Italian we say: “una Barbera in purezza”

Feb 9th, 2021前のビンテージがすごく良かったので、気になり再飲。
バルベーラらしいジューシーな果実味に、チャーミングな酸。
とはいえ、前のビンテージほどの複雑さがなく、フツーになってしまってた。ちょっと残念。

Good bottle. Of the lighter side with bright acidity. Still medium tannins and structure.
