Fontanafredda Briccotondo Barbera 2014
Piedmont, ItalyConsistent year over year, and the 2014 is no different. This barbera, from the hillsides of Langhe and Monferrato brings black cherry, anise, worked leather and black raspberry across a fleshy, cured meats and oak framed medium body. Scrubby herbs, pipe tobacco and brisk spicing liven the smooth palate, while six months in oak barrels and Slavonian casks defines it. An approachable and interesting red for drinking now, especially with wild mushroom risotto or boar pappardelle.Tasted: 19 August 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $17.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
