October 23, 2016 - 2016 10 23 Piemonte Tour dinner (Ristorante Bovio): a barrique aged Barbera
decanted for an hour or two
dark red-purple colour
excellent tertiary sour red nose & fruits flavours with smoked meat hints
well structured & complexed, still lively fruity notes after 20 years, wonderful long finish and very long aftertaste.
a wonderful experience. Thanks Elio! -

January 29, 2007 - I had no idea what to expect from a barrique aged barbera. Dark fruits, smoke, tar and pepper melded together in a terrific package with the tannins still evident and the acidity screaming for food. No hurry on the rest.
