Tasting Note
The 2022 Cascina Barisel Barbera d’Asti showcases the best of this food-friendly Italian variety. Its deep ruby hue makes promises that are kept in aroma and flavour. Its bouquet expands from the scent of black cherry and plum to include the alluring scent of violet. The palate offers Barbera’s classic juicy fruit with notes of cherry, red plum and cranberry trailing off into a noteworthy finish. While its generous depth and fine balance suggest this bottle will continue to develop over the next five years, to me, the beauty of this wine is captured in the moment.
