Barbera d'Alba 2006 |
|
$ 26.93 USD
A stunner. Surely one of the most sumptuous
unwooded Barberas money can buy. This absolutely ripples with ripe
fresh flavours of blueberries, blackberries, spices, salts and touches
of cardamom.

Barbera d'Alba Marun 2006 |
|
$ 42.53 USD
This comes from a beautiful parcel of 25 year
old vines perched on the top of the Marun hill, where soil is poor and
drainage is excellent. Year in, year out grape berries are small and
scarce in this vineyard. The 2006 is absolutely shimmering with bright
fruit flavours, deep and brilliant in colour, a svelte, sumptuous
texture complements the fresh crisp acidity, this bursts with velvety
blueberry, blackthorn fresh raspberry, salt and plum skin flavours.
