Renato Vacca's 2013 Barbera d'Alba is aged 14 months in oak for a generous and shapely style. The wine is darkly extracted and very rich both in terms of color and appearance. Dark berry, blackcurrant, coffee, espresso bean and spice are well fused. It shows a clean and controlled personality with evident oak tones that have been used to soften some of the grape's excessive acidity.

Juicy blackberry and black cherry fruit combines with a dense structure in this red. Overall, this stays balanced and lingers on the finish. Drink now through 2019. 250 cases made, 125 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barbera d'Alba Select to Add
