Tenuta Carretta 2007 Bric Quercia (Barbera d’Alba)

Country: Italy / Bric Quercia
Variety: Barbera Piedmont
Winery: Tenuta Carretta / Barbera d’Alba

Liquid smoke and toasted elements of roasted hazelnut and cured meat dominate the nose of this modern Barbera d’Alba. There is power and high alcohol here too, coupled by the wine’s naturally high acidity that is a bit strong on the palate. Pair this wine with very cheesey foods.
