#barbera just might be the best value red available to a wine consumer, especially when you are fine dining #italian #piemonte #montebruna 🇮🇹
A velvety red color, the nose of the #montebruna shows ripe bing cherry, some tar, and smoke. The palate has what every good red wine needs in balance: fruit, acidity, tannin in balance with the alcohol. A juicy and fleshy texture moderates the high alcohol and rounds out the tannins. Some smoke and campfire is picked up on the palate.

Herb-wrapped rose, honey graham suggestion, blood sausage, salty black olive, sassafras, plum. Great texture, tannins that purr, and acid that throws the right amt of baseline. And that black cherry on the nose!! Grab yourself a sexy date and settle in (even if this is your sexy date).
