Il Falchetto 2004 Lurëi (Barbera d’Asti Superiore)

Country: Italy / Piedmont
Variety: Barbera
Winery: Il Falchetto / Lurëi

This was a difficult wine to taste. It was seriously extracted but it did not show a lot of fruit, and showed a slightly sweaty component. On the palate it was heavy and slightly coarse, but redeemed itself with a medium finish where some fruit came through.
