Poderi Aldo Conterno Barbera "Conca Tre Pile" 2018

Barbera d’Alba - Alba - Piedmont - Italy

ABV - 15.5%

“Conca Tre Pile” is the name of the steeply sloping vineyard from where this top level Barbera is harvested from up to 45 year old vines. I would suggest around an hour in the decanter and then savour the intoxicating aroma in the glass. Deep ruby red in colour, this Barbera is bursting with dark berry perfumes overlaid with spiced dark plum and cherries. On the palate, it is concentrated and full-bodied, with the classic Barbera acidity lifting and accentuating the fruit characters. Blackberries, savoury spice and nutmeg blend with ripe plums and supple tannins. The wine has a long, elegant finish. As good as Barbera gets from an outstanding and well respected producer. Serve with red meats and game
