Red
Barbera d'Asti
By Socré, Barbaresco, Piemonte, Italy
Barbera from a 2001 vineyard on poor sandy-clay soil, thinned in the vineyard, with body, easy drinking and acidity kept in check.
Tasting notes
Deep ruby red, deep garnet red with age. Vague blueberry, jam and tartness; on the palate the acidity does not dominate in the estate's selection. Alcohol 14.0 to 14.5% vol, dry extract about 30 g/l.
