Fontanafredda Briccotondo Barbera 2018

Piedmont, ItalyDon't let the price tag fool you. Far from a modest Barbera, this is quite a serious wine. And, no doubt, it benefits from the very good quality of the 2018 vintage in Piemonte. It's driven by sappy cherry fruit, with secondary notes of walnut and spice. It's not overly complex, but it doesn't need to be when the fruit is this pure and precise. If you're a fan of Cru Beaujolais, you'll want to pick this up. It could be the best value wine I've tasted this year.Tasted: 01 November 2020Tasted by: Geoffrey Moss MWPrices:
