Country: Italy / La Trincherina
Variety: Barbera Piedmont
Winery: F.lli Trinchero / Barbera d’Asti
Although this is a young Barbera—from the 2008 vintage—the wine already shows signs of aging. The color is ruby bordering on garnet and the nose is characterized by mature berry, wet earth, bramble and a touch of black truffle.
