Vietti tasting at the beach. Tasted blind and then non blind over two nights. Benefitted from being the second oldest wine and a little more ready to drink. One tasters favorite. Better still the second day. More tobacco and herbs on the nose,medium bodied, nice fruit, excellent complexity.

Little closed and tannic at first. Reticent when opened but blossomed with several hours of air. Dark fruit. Earth. Old world. Tobacco. Just needed time. Would hold other bottles.

Never had a Barbera quite like this, this has serious notes that you'd expect out of Bordeaux or Rhone. Great to see what this varietal could do with certain concentration and age.

Wow...a serious Barbera d'Asti. Briny fruit, outstanding depth, dusty old world tannins, alcohol in check...nice italian food wine.
