Medium beet red. Bright with minimal signs of age. In fact, it is just coming into its own. Nebbiolo-like bouquet of rose petals and dark cherry. Same on the palate, and also some Nebbiolo-like black licorice. Tannins that braced earlier bottles have faded away, leaving delectable fruit and mouth watering acidity. An excellent Barbera; reminds me of the Nizza Barbera I had last week.

Elio Sandri (Cascina Disa) Barbera d'Alba Superiore, 2012
I have had several bottles of this Barbera d'Alba since buying it in 2017. This one is by far the best. But, alas, it's the last of the lot.
