Smoke, cedar, tobacco and earthiness are among the nuances that come to life in the estate’s 1999 Barbera d’Asti Vigna del Noce. Some of the primary fruit has melted away, resulting in a highly complex, engaging Barbera that is very rewarding to drink now. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2019. Trinchero makes big, powerful Barberas loaded with character. The estate’s practice of releasing their wines later than most gives readers a great opportunity to see how Barbera develops with extended bottle aging. Importer: Polaner Selections, Mt.
