holy sh**! I thought that this would be one of those bottles that I overlooked and let get tired... boy was I wrong. We opened it about 20 min. before dinner, and an hour or 2 would have been perfect. God bless the Italians for making affordable, ageable, drinkable, beautifully food pairing wines! For a $30 bottle, this would make anyone a believer, kudos!

I found the Grasso 97 Barolo to be so interesting and accessible last week so thought I'd open a 99 Barbera. Dark purple color. Moderate nose almost has a rustic character, but lots of fresh black fruit on the palate shows something more modern and lush. Long fruit-filled finish with some hints of wine. Really balanced and integrated, this wine hides its 14.5% (listed) alcohol very nicely.
