Pe’re Alessandro 2004 Vigna Giaia (Barbaresco)

Country: Italy / Vigna Giaia
Variety: Nebbiolo Piedmont
Winery: Pe’re Alessandro / Barbaresco

This lively Barbaresco is distinguished by a drying mineral note that recalls black slate or graphite. Aromas of Spanish cedar, root beer and licorice are followed by dark fruit and plum. The wine is controlled, compact and tight in the mouth and it’s almost ready to drink. Drink after 2012.
