Il Cascinone 2005 Rive (Barbera d’Asti)

Country: Italy / Rive
Variety: Barbera Piedmont
Winery: Il Cascinone / Barbera d’Asti

This is one of those likeable Barbaras made to be drunk at release. It works: it is friendly, big, lush, easygoing and fruity. It may not be taxing, but it is an amiable food friendly faultless wine that cries out for the backyard barbecue.
