Giuseppe Rinaldi, Barbera d'Alba Size:12x750ml Fine balance and length overallDark crimson. Bitter cherries and the most inspiring rendition of this grape variety tangy, not a trace of obvious oak (so different from the Barbera mainstream), so racy and yet with real depth. Long. Slightly spritz but utterly convincing. Enjy this while it has youthful fruit; no point in letting it fade.
