Barbera d’Asti achieved DOCG status in 2008. I was lucky enough to get a 1.5L bottle and tucked the 2012 in my cellar for about 2 years, and I was well rewarded! Warm vibrant Ruby color with a full bouquet of berry fruit aromas and sweet perfumed spice. On the palate complex flavors of plum, cherry and blackberry, white pepper, good structure, balanced with savory acidity and super soft tannins. The wine had a lingering finish loaded with juicy fruit on the ending. Exceptional! Great Value! Tasting Sample.
