The 2007 Barbera d’Alba Piani is beautiful in the way refined layers of perfumed dark fruit grace the palate. This mid-weight, elegant Barbera offers plenty of complexity and elegance, especially at this price point. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2015.
Giorgio Pelissero is a young, passionate producer based in Treiso. As outstanding as the Barbarescos can be, I find just as much pleasure in his Dolcettos and Barberas, which are among the finest in the region. From top to bottom, this is a first-class set of wines.
