The 1999 Barbera d'Asti Costamiole is a barrique-aged 100% Barbera loaded with sweet jammy cherry and strawberry fruit intermixed with notions of vanilla, cocoa, and new saddle leather. Medium to full-bodied and ripe, with enough acidity to provide vibrancy, and no obvious tannin, it will drink well for 4-5 years.A Leonardo Locascio Selection, Winebow, Hohokus, NJ; tel.
