The 2010 Barbera d’Asti Tasmorcan is fabulous this year. I find wonderful delineation in the aromas and flavors, all supported by a vein of minerality that gives the wine its balance. The 2010 isn’t a flashy wine. Instead, it impresses with its superb balance and class. The Tasmorcan is best enjoyed at the dinner table, where its lively acidity and vinous personality will show at their best. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014.
Stefano Perrone makes a number of delicious wines, but truly excels with his Moscati and other sweet wines. I always try to have a few bottles on hand.
