Rivetto 2009 Loirano Soprano (Barbera d’Alba)

Country: Italy / Loirano Soprano
Variety: Barbera Piedmont
Winery: Rivetto / Barbera d’Alba

This internationally-styled Barbera shows aromas of oak, ground coffee bean and smoke as well as black fruit. While the palate is dense with ripe black-cherry, chocolate and vanilla flavors, oak dominates, and astringent wood tannins dry out the finish.
