Ca’ dei Mandorli 2007 La Bellalda (Barbera d’Asti)

Country: Italy / La Bellalda
Variety: Barbera Piedmont
Winery: Ca’ dei Mandorli / Barbera d’Asti

Here’s a chalky, mineral interpretation of Barbera with drying sensations of granite and slate backed by a delicate impression of wild berry and cassis. The wine is crisp and tonic with a bitter finale that recalls white almond skins.
