This wine has a fun bouquet that recalls sweet red roses in a giant bouquet. Those floral notes are followed by red cherry and dried raspberry, and I even get lavender essence. The 2019 Barbera d'Alba Morassina is a charming, easy-drinking wine with the bright fruit and acidic freshness to pair with a cheesy mozzarella pizza. There's a lot of likable personality in this wine. 8,000 bottles were released.

This is red-fruited and chocolaty with dried flowers and wet earth undertones. Fresh and vivid with tense acidity and fine, polished tannins. Crunchy and bright in the finish. Drink now.
