The 2001 Barbera d’Asti Crena, from one of the prime vineyard locations of the appellation in Agliano d’Asti, is a powerful and rich wine with roasted red and black fruit flavors, notes of dark chocolate and espresso, excellent concentration and definition, and more freshness and elegance than the first-rate 2000 version of the wine. Drink: 2005-2010. Importer: Remy Amerique, New York, NY; tel. (212) 424-2202

Solid red with lots of mineral, berry and blueberry character on the nose and palate. Full-bodied, chewy and long. Lovely. Always very, very good quality. Drink now. 700 cases made, 300 cases imported.??–JS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barbera d'Asti Select to Add
