Barbera D'asti D.O.C.

Barbera D'asti D.O.C. Wine Details
Price:

Description: The 2000 vintage was the fourth fine vintage in a row for Piemonte, which is unprecedented in recent times. There were drought conditions leading into harvest of the Barbera, and there was plenty of heat to bring the acidity down to manageable levels. This wine has opulent fruit in the nose, with aromas of cherries and currents. The flavor is rich with vibrant acidity balancing the bright fruit flavors. It will be at its best between one and five years after the vintage date when the fruit flavors will be prominent and during which time it will become more complex and full.
