The 2015 Barbera d'Alba Superiore is a profound expression of this native grape from a perfectly suited vintage. All the stars have aligned correctly to produce this gorgeous expression. Fruit is sourced from old vines (the average age is 63) and yields are extremely low. It takes two or three vines to make a single bottle of wine. The bouquet is complex and dark with rich black fruit, tar, smoke and spice. The mouthfeel is equally rich and enduring. This beautiful Barbera should continue a steady evolution over the next decade in the bottle.
