Your thoughts please....Barbera

[Dogwalker]

I got a winner!
I just had my first full glass of Barbera and I was VERY pleased.
It's a bottle of Italian BARBERA D'Alba produced by PIRA, vintage 1996. The cost was $14.95 on sale from $18.95.
The aroma as I said last night reminded me of "wet, freshly turned rich earth". I was very surprized how fresh this aroma was.
The taste was smooth, polite and very crisp. I have'nt tried it with any food, but enjoyed having a glass of it while engrossed with reading my lastest novel.
I am realy pleased with this wine and will make sure to get another bottle and also try other brands.
Also, thanks for input.
Regards, Chuck
