This is a full-bodied, robust red wine from Italy's Piedmont region.An intense nose of dark fruits, spices, and leather greet the taster, while the palate is awash with ripe cherry, raspberry, and blueberry fruit flavors, as well as hints of tobacco and a touch of earthy minerality. The finish is long and lush, with a pleasant balance of acidity and tannins. Enjoy this Barbera d'Alba with a variety of savory dishes.
