Cascina Chicco
Granera Alta Barbera d'Alba
Alba, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
Fresh, expressive black cherry, soft tannins, food-friendly acidity. Paired well with crab cakes and green beans. You'd have to be 'stunade' not to love this juicy, barely dry, easy drinking Barbera!

How else to spend this hurricane? Try a new wine! This is ok, I love the flavors - lots of earth and leather qualities (which I like) but it's missing something, it comes off as a little flabby and thin. Maybe just not enough acid? The price was fair though.

Great food friendly barbera! Not overly complex body but great acidity and mild tannins.

Delicious. Generous red fruit (a hint of blackberry too?) medium acidity. Medium bodied. Nicely balanced.

Delicious. Good fruit. Just a bit of astringent after taste.

Black cherry cola meets toasted vanilla bean on the nose. Palate is cherry tart for days. This effort opens up well with air. Very enjoyable!
