#monbirone #monchierocarbone - una barbera di spessore dalle terre del Roero. Piena ma elegante, lunghissima e fascinosa

Luscious Barbera, dark cherry, beautifully balanced with a lengthy finish where the acidity is rounded

2011 on Jan 25, 2017. Beautiful expression of the grape. Cherry, cedar with a lengthy but rounded finish.

At 4 years, this wine has just entered its prime. Almost port-like nose with dried dates, and a prickling amount of alcohol. Roundness on the tongue is indulging, yet the aftertaste is somewhat challenging. Sourness at first but is quiets down and leaves a long lasting taste of smoked wood.

Spicy, elegant and complex at the same time, a delicious cherry note. Great!
