Barbera d'Alba "Selectio" DOC 2020
Sobrero’s Barbera d’Alba shows density and boldness, but also poise. The nose is lively and expressive, previewing a palate that displays succulent fruit, generous floral notes, and nuances of spice, leather, and black pepper, all tied together by a thread of crisp minerality. A brilliant purple- edged ruby of marked depth and intensity. A crisp, emphatically varietal nose releases lively, ultra-dense aromas, exhibiting a fine balance of succulent fruit impressions, generous floral notes, and a thread of crisp minerality. Nuances of black pepper, spice, and leather complete an amalgam of remarkable complexity and liveliness.
