Cascina delle Rose 2012 Donna Elena (Barbera d’Alba Superiore)

Country: Italy / Donna Elena
Variety: Barbera Piedmont
Winery: Cascina delle Rose / Barbera d’Alba Superiore

Bold and delicious, this opens with earthy aromas of mature black-skinned fruit, truffle, scorched earth and a whiff of game. The savory, full-bodied palate doles out juicy black cherry, blackberry, licorice, and baking spice alongside bright acidity and refined tannins.
