Briccotondo 2007Barbera $15.99
Piedmont, Italy
3.5 stars
Very well balanced wine. Rich red fruits, with a tar like overtone.
Barbera is the most widely planted grape in Piedmont, although nebbiolo is more renowned. Barbera is a mouthfilling rich wine that is packed with every black fruit imaginable: blackberry, black cherry, black raspberry and black plum. The wine also has a vivacity and a vibrancy that comes from the grapes high natural acidity. Italy and California remain the major areas for Barbera. Little is planted elsewhere in the world.
