Al Alba

G.D. Vajra

Barbera d'Alba Superiore 2022

Light purple in color with light intensity.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing raspberries, strawberries, light wood, spices, coffee, dark chocolates, earth and tobacco leaf.

Nice length on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This Barbera d'Alba is spicy and showing good structure. Fruitier on the palate than on the nose.

Still young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly.

Easy drinking and good by itself or with food.

100% Barbera grapes were aged for 12 months in large oak barrels.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$40.

Barbera d'Alba 2022

Cherry, acid, delicious! Great with anything red sauce and mild cheese. This is a party drink for good casual times. Barbecues, late night pizza, or 3rd bottle of wine for the night. This is a good bet. — 2 months ago
