Cantina della Stazione Barbera d’Alba DOC 2021
$45.00Dave Fletcher’s wines all possess a cool, savoury sleekness, but in the Barbera we find more flesh, mid palate weight and rounder shape. Perfumed and heady with bright. Dark, blue and bramble fruits. Some tertiary notes too of cocoa powder, Asian spices and turned earth. There’s a little more heft here and the tannins, savoury […]
