The 2012 Barbera d'Alba Surì di Mù is a powerful but balanced Barbera that opens to a dark color and consistency. The bouquet presents vinous notes of raw cherry fruit, blackcurrant and sweet baking spice. Fruit is sourced from a vineyard in La Morra and the wine sees 15 months of new oak. The wine does not have the marked acidity that you get from the grape and presents a soft and velvety texture instead.
