The 2019 Barbera d'Alba Prephylloxera is a wild, feral wine. Strong floral and savory accents lend quite a bit of aromatic intensity. Rose petal, sage, mint, forest floor and wild cherry give the 2019 its distinctive exotic profile-Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
Coming from a not grafted vineyard located in the western part of the municipality of La Morra, the Barbera d’Aba Pre-Phylloxera shows a great olfactory complexity, emitting fruity notes of blackberry and cherry, perfectly balanced by aromas of violet, spices and balsamic scents. The taste is taut, enveloping and satisfying, characterized by fine and delicate tannins, excellent freshness, and a long finish. It is a bright and slender Barbera that knows how to express itself with grace and great elegance.
