2000 Michele Chiarlo Barbera d'Asti

[Innkeeper]

2004 Wednesday night. Still $9.99 at Micucci's in Portland. Alcohol level: 13%. Reaction fits that of earlier vintages. Must be one of those consistant ones!

Matched it with Rigatoni in Pink Vodka Sauce with Italian chicken sausages, and sliced tomatoes. To be perfectly honast, the wine was a little too acidic for the rather bland sauce and meat. It went great with the tomatoes.

Would definitely get more, but will serve it with a stronger dish. It is still a great value.
