Description:
Barbera is a delicate grape variety, which can only give excellent products if tended to lovingly and strictly. Sandrone limits production and achieves maximum ripening. This Barbera dAlba comes from four different vineyards in the Novello and Monforte dAlba area. Very old vines (30-40 years old on average) and aging in French oak give great complexity to the wines. Only 1250 cases produced per year. The Wine Enthusiast: Unusually full-bodied and creamy textured for a Barbera, but also unusually good, with vibrant black-cherry fruit artfully framed by hints of vanilla and cinnamon. The long, mouthwatering finish is a treat. Drink now. Score: 90. - Joe Czerwinski, March 01, 2006.
