Battaglio, Madunina, Superiore, Barbera d’Alba, Piedmont, 2010

Tasting: Barbera d’Alba

Open and balsamic with touches of leather and spices. jammy mid palate balanced by a fresh vibrant acidity. well balanced and elegant

Tasting: Barbera d’Alba

Very deep red. Muted nose, quite chocolaty. Rich and limpid, but lacks a little concentration and grip. An attractive, polished, easy-going Barbera that’s a bit one-dimensional. Medium length, spicy finish.

Tasting: Barbera d’Alba

Deep red. Super ripe red cherry and dark plum aromas and flavours. This has a luscious mouthfeel; and soft tannins with a spicy edge at the back. Lovely.
