The 2009 Barbera d’Alba Vignota emerges from the glass with layers of radiant fruit. Dark berries, flowers and sweet spices come together beautifully in this fleshy, engaging Barbera. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014. Importer: Empson, USA, Alexandria, VA; tel. (703) 684-0900

Though rich and polished, this is a sleek, elegant red, laced with violet, black currant and black cherry aromas and flavors. Vibrant and pure, this glides to a lingering aftertaste of cherry and spice. Drink now through 2015.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barbera d'Alba Select to Add
