2020 Oddero Barbera d’Alba Superiore, Piedmont, Italy

This wine spends 16 months aging in large french oak casks which impart a subtle smooth texture to the wine. Intense ruby-red color with purple tinges, a bouquet of cherry, blackberry, small red fruits, pepper and mineral flavors with an excellent dash of freshness. Tannins are soft and fresh in the mouth, maintaining the classic Barbera backbone, thanks to its pleasant acidity.
