Tasting note

The 2019 Barbera d'Alba Castle is a deep, fleshy wine. Succulent black cherry, mocha, spice and licorice are all kicked up in this evidently extroverted, lush Barbera from Barale. Soft contours and a long, silky feel add to its considerable appeal. This is beautifully done.

Score: 92
