drink-now2016 Barbera d'Alba, Cascina Fontana, Piedmont

With layers of red cherry stone and graphite minerals on the nose and palate, this is sophisticated Barbera. Mario Fontana uses a small proportion of new oak to bring gloss and enhance the smooth tannins, while tempering its naturally high acidity.
