La Luna e i Falo Barbera d'Asti Superiore
Asti, Piedmont, Italy
Not. My. Jam. Too acidic. Too flabby. Sometimes I wonder: “If I had kids, would I miss them as much as I miss my wine when I travel for work?”

Although this isn’t a Barolo, I did drink it there. Close enough as it is from Asti, which was about 20 mins down the road. I mean come on. This was great. Dark fruits like black cherries and reminded me of plums with its taste and its tannins. Had some spice and oak that balanced with the fruit nicely. High acidity but still has a lot of body and depth. Tannins were soft but present. Felt like a polished and serious wine that was excellent alongside our “piedmontese” meal.

Cherries, juicy but not overpoweringly acidic, wood, velvety mouthfeel, vanilla, light tannins. Delightful!

Intense, dark luminous purple. In the nose sour cherries and plums, the aftertaste of milk chocolate. Rice and soft on the palate, opens on velvety fruit surrounded by tight tannins, good length, fine drink.

Ok, but nothing more, missed some complexity, maybe some bottle age.
