Montaribaldi
Dü Gir Barbera d'Alba
Alba, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
Dark ruby in color with a red/purple rim.
Strong fruity nose of blueberries, sweet raspberries, cherries, licorice, light oak, vanilla, earth, herbs, spices, dark chocolates, tobacco and black pepper.
Full bodied with medium plus acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with black currants, black cherries, sweet raspberries, tobacco, light oak, vanilla, earth, licorice, spices, herbs, chocolates, peppercorn and light vegetables.
Short finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a nice Barbera from Italy. Much bigger than I expected it to be. Showing mild complexity with a nice mouthfeel.
Still young and would be better in a few years. Would be nice to revisit it in 3 years. A good quality wine.
Good right out of the bottle, and gets earthier as it opens up. After 90 minutes of airtime, tannins show up, and bring in more structure. After 3 hours, the tannins become grippy.
A good food wine that I paired with a Charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.
100% Barbera grapes were aged in New oak barrels for 20 months.
15.5% alcohol by volume.
89 points.
$25.

Non-transparent, looks like unrefined, dark garnet. A bit animal flavor. Fruity with black berry flavor. A bit strong tanning and spicy. Enough impact. After stabled, floral aroma is quite good! @2800, X, 180504

Wow! 7 years old and going strong! Pungent, cheesy funk on the nose which blows off to reveal red berries and a beautiful floral note. Like a baby Nebbiolo! Very fruity, with tons of ripe red berries on the palate! Really balancing well at 7 years!

Well balanced yet soft at the front of the tongue and more full bodied in the middle
