بيو تشيزاري 'فيديس' باربيرا دالبا 2017، بيدمونت

The bouquet on this 2017 Barbera is incredibly deep and dark, exactly as described, with a richness that made it perfect for a slow Sunday braise. I was surprised by how smooth the tannins were for such a young vintage—it's drinking beautifully now.

The vineyard designation on the label caught my eye, and the wine itself delivers—that dark fruit bouquet is surprisingly nuanced for a Barbera. Definitely a step up from the standard bottlings.

The dark, ripe bouquet on this Barbera is incredibly specific and complex, exactly as described. I poured a glass last night and it opened up beautifully after about an hour in the decanter. For the price, this is a fantastic value for a well-aged Piedmont red.
