Barbera D'Alba Superiore 2018

The Luigi Pira 2018 Barbera d'Alba Superiore offers a lush and rich bouquet with lots of dark fruit and blackberry. Background aromas include tilled earth, crushed stone and some blue flower or lilac. This is a pretty, mid-weight wine with vivid freshness. Fermentation finishes in stainless steel, and the wine ages in large oak casks made with Slavonian oak. Some 10,000 bottles were released.

The 2018 Barbera d'Alba Superiore is soft, plush and very easy to like. Succulent dark cherry, plum, spice, leather and pipe tobacco flesh out in an effortless, wonderfully inviting Barbera full of charm.
