Paolo Scavino 2013 Affinato in Carati (Barbera d’Alba)

Country: Italy / Affinato in Carati
Variety: Barbera Piedmont
Winery: Paolo Scavino / Barbera d’Alba

Dense and full-bodied, this opens with aromas of oak, roasted coffee beans, leafy forest floor, baked plum and licorice. The chewy, concentrated palate doles out fleshy raspberry, black cherry, orange peel and star anise alongside polished, fine-grained tannins.
