Blackish crimson

This is also very good for its level and worth your attention

but retains structural liquorice and cocoa-infused tannins

This is the first wine to display any material amount of reduction and here it’s enough to overshadow the fruit

Fine balance and length overall

Giuseppe Rinaldi, Barbera d'Alba Size:12x750ml Blackish crimsonDark crimson. Bitter cherries and the most inspiring rendition of this grape variety tangy, not a trace of obvious oak (so different from the Barbera mainstream), so racy and yet with real depth. Long. Slightly spritz but utterly convincing. Enjy this while it has youthful fruit; no point in letting it fade.
