Such a great wine! It was light and crisp all at once/ not to dry. Smells fruity and taste like blackberries — 11 years ago
Whoa. Truly SUPERIOR Barbera superiore. Knock down gorgeous fruit with ripping acidity and.tremendously focused nose of cherry, candied orange peel and white pepper. — 12 years ago
Lusciously fruity and earthy at the same time. On the nose there are notes of black cherry and wet leaves/forest floor. Still more fresh black fruit on the palate, a little bit of vanilla incense and violets. Quite decent acidity with silky tannins and med + alcohol which is balanced nicely. Paired well for me with baked Provoleta cheese! — 8 years ago

Freedom to make and unmake.
Carussin's the name of the winery, does exist since 1927, it is located in San Marzano Oliveto (Nizza Monferrato/Canelli in Piedmont). I must admit that last and actually only time I drank this bottle I was a little too suspicious and off-guard.
First "faux pas" of this wine is the crown cap; second is a Nebbiolo from which quite often in Langhe they produce bigger than life, costly but sometimes stuffy if not out-of-date-too-modern Barolo and Barbaresco; third is that despite the over strenght and potential of the grape - friendly cracked open like a cheap bottle of beer - though here what we've got from the start in the glass it is a ready to drink beverage full of vigor, rich in juice, very well balanced in structure and plesantness probabily due to the evidence of that clear and practical winemaking tecniques: natural fermentation, unfiltered process with no added sulphur.
I thought three titles for this review, although in the end I chose another one:
1. Nobly simple
2. Praise of imperfection
3. Predetermined disharmony http://www.carussin.it/ — 11 years ago

2007 vintage. Strong red ripe fruits, very, very intense. Slightly too strong alcohol in nose. Atomic bomb in mouth, explosion. Tannins super strong, very long finish, well balanced. — 12 years ago
