Fontanafredda Briccotondo Barbera 2010
Piedmont, ItalyThere's something fragrant and satisfying abut youthful barbera. Plums and cherries reign on the palate with fine acidity but not with that over the top tartness. In fact, the texture is silky enough to attract even the fussiest sippers. We love the black pepper and fruit spiced with bits of cardamom. Perfect for spaghetti Bolognese or mushroom risotto.Tasted: 12 October 2011Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $18.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
