VINIFERA IMPORTS® Cascina Chicco Barbera d’Alba D.O.C. – 6058584408223

About This Wine:

A rich sumptuous and fascinating bouquet with a hint of red fruit and a final touch of vanilla and licorice. A rich, powerful, full-bodied taste.

92 Points – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate:
“The 2008 Barbera d’Alba Bricco Loira is a gorgeous, mineral-infused wine laced with dark fruit, licorice, spices and a hint of oak. This isn’t a blockbuster, but rather a wine that impresses for its gorgeous inner perfume, silky tannins and exceptional overall balance. I found this bottle quite a bit more interesting and complete than the bottle I tasted last year. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016.” – Antonio Galloni (Oct 2011)

90 Points – Wine Spectator Magazine:
“Dark and brooding, exuding violet, cassis, sweet spice and mineral aromas and flavors. Ripe and supple, with a sweet fruit finish that lingers. Drink now through 2015. 700 cases made.” – BS (Dec 15, 2010)
