The 2009 Barbera d’Alba Pistin is another very pretty, entry-level wine from Grimaldi. Sweet, round and polished, the Pistin impresses for its silky fruit and open, radiant personality. I especially like the juiciness here, and am quite curious to taste Grimaldi’s top Barbera, the Fornaci, in this great Barbera vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014.
