Cascina Garitina 2006 Neuvsent (Barbera d’Asti Superiore Nizza)

Country: Italy / Neuvsent
Variety: Barbera Piedmont
Winery: Cascina Garitina / Barbera d’Asti Superiore Nizza

This inky-black Barbera boasts granite and slate aromas with black fruit, cassis, wild mushroom, tobacco and wet earth. These are the characteristic aromas of this native grape variety, although the deep extraction and sweet oak flavors on display here denote a very modern interpretation.
