2 people found it helpfulJun 28th, 2016This 2013 Sandrone Barbera d'Alba is a wonderful expression of the Barbera grape and Piedmont.
The notes of cherry, red raspberry, red currants, lavender, leather, green herbaceous notes, and damp soil.
On the palate is dark cherry, red raspberry, tart cranberry, plum, cassie and chewy wet soil.
This wine has a beautifully full mouth feel yet romantically seamless. There is medium + acidity with finely grained tannins that provides a good long finish.
This wine is not expensive and provides the sense of place on looks for in a more expensive nebbiolo. Have a great week and be safe. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Not enough acidity to meet my Barbera expectations.

Deep color. Heavy extraction and tannin. Strangely green parsley or basil. While on that palate it seems riper. Big tannins. #barberadalba #italianwines

Feb 2nd, 2019So pure. Fresh nose of cherry and plums. Palate is more ripe plums and cherries with a firm mineral streak. So enjoyable.

Jan 21st, 2018Barbers d'alba never lets me down and this one is right up there with best I've had. Perfect with meats and cheeses. Great fruit and character and if we had waited it would have been better.
