Massolino, Gisep, Barbera d’Alba, Piedmont, 2010

Tasting: Barbera d’Alba

Deep dark rich and intense. Very subtle oak and fruits. Lots of dark spices and sundried plums and cherries.

Tasting: Barbera d’Alba

Opaque red. Lush oaky nose, plums and chocolate. Broad, juicy, and vibrant, with fine acidity to balance the concentration of fruit. The oak tannins give structure and persistence, and some elegance too. Very good length.

Tasting: Barbera d’Alba

Deep red. Fruity aromas of red and black cherry with minerals. Then tobacco and spices, with super ripe red cherry and berry flavours on the long finish which features peppery but slightly drying tannins. A tad hot at the back for a higher score
