"Maraia" Barbera Monferrato, 2000

[hotwine]

From Marchesi di Barolo. A full elegant nose, promising entry, solid center and crisp finish.... a delightful CHEAP Barbera, very nice with low-carb soy spaghetti and meat sauce. 13.5% ABV and $6.99 at the discounter. Yup, that's what I said, $6.99. Gotta stock up. (Can't believe I bought this stuff two months ago and completely forgot about it. A mind is a terrible thing to waste...)
