Gianni Gagliardo 2013 Madama (Barbera d’Alba)

Country: Italy / Madama
Variety: Barbera Piedmont
Winery: Gianni Gagliardo / Barbera d’Alba

Young and fruit-driven, this straightforward wine opens with aromas of ripe black and red-skinned fruit accompanied by a whiff of spice rack. The chewy palate doles out juicy black cherry, blackberry, star anise and orange zest alongside vibrant acidity. Enjoy through 2016.
