The 2000 Barbera d'Asti Ai Suma (this cuvee was not produced in 1999) exhibits copious amounts of smoky oak along with notes of espresso, licorice, and black cherry jam. Lush, medium to full-bodied, and ripe, with abundant quantities of sweet fruit, it will drink well for 5-7 years. Importer: Dominic Nocerino, Vinifera Imports, Ronkonkoma, NY; tel. (516) 467-5907
