Wonderful Barbera

[Innkeeper]

Real winner tonight. 1997 Giuseppe Mascarello, Barbera d'Alba, "Santo Sefano di Perno", Piedmont ($15.99 Wine Expo). A huge barbera (14.5% alcohol) with a touch of oak, but still had enough acid to mate will with leftover meatballs in tomato sauce with Keto (lo-carb) pasta, covered with grated hard imported Provolone; and salad. Had enough pizazz to marry with a Bistecca alla Pizzalola.
