The 2011 Barbera d’Asti Tasmorcan is drop-dead gorgeous. Readers are going to have a hard time finding a better wine for the money. Dark fruit, smoke, licorice and graphite flow through to the sexy, voluptuous finish. Sweet floral notes add a measure of refinement. This delicious, fruit-forward Barbera is an excellent choice for drinking over the next few years. Even better, it is a great value. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2015.
Elio Perrone has long been one of my favorites producers in Piedmont. I am not sure what happened with this set of new releases but, with one exception, the overall level of quality is notably lower than the norm across the board and with multiple bottles I tasted for this article.
