Barbera d'Alba 'Bricco delle Olive' 2021

93

100% Barbera from a single vineyard in Serralunga d’Alba. Bright, medium purple; aromas of black plum, clove, black raspberry, violet and a hint of menthol. Beautiful ripeness, medium-full, very good acidity, restrained wood notes, noteworthy persistence and a round, very satisfying finish. There is excellent varietal purity - one sip tells you this is a classic Barbera. Enjoy over the next 3-5 years.

Bright and juicy, with a fierce line of acidity juxtaposed with salinity. Tart cherry and cinnamon hots ignite on the finish.

Bright, intense ruby red; aromas of black cherry, blackberry, mace and a hint of black pepper. Medium-full, this has very good ripeness, good acidity, moderate tannins and impressive persistence. Another year in the bottle will bring out greater complexities and help round out the wine.
