The 1990 Barbera d'Alba Vignasse is a knock-out example of this underrated and generally overlooked varietal. It exhibits a dense purple color, a big, rich, ripe nose of black fruits, stunning concentration and extract, full body, enough crisp acidity to give focus and vibrance to the wine's flavors, and a long finish. This sensational Barbera should drink well for 10-15 years. Bravo!
