The 2008 Barbera d’Asti Superiore Nizza is a huge, exciting wine loaded with smoke, tar, licorice, crushed rocks and dark fruit. This is an intense, brooding style but all of the elements come together beautifully in the glass. Clean, saline notes frame the gorgeous finish. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2023.

A blast of black cherry and herbs, this red is juicy and leaves a pleasantly bitter impression on the finish. Think pizza or pasta. Drink now. 100 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barbera d'Asti Select to Add
