  • Review: With a complex nose, showing smoky dark cherry fruit and a mixture of berry fruits, this smooth and full-bodied wine shows the same complexity on the palate. Veglio Michelino e Figlio's Barbera d'Alba has strong alcohol content and is best served with red meats and strong cheeses.
My Tasting Notes
  • Body: 4
  • Acidity: 3
  • Tannin: 1.5
  • Alcohol: 3
This Barbera d'Alba is produced in a new world style from an old world region. It's very fruit forward and focused with a juicy palate full of fresh berries and roundness. Blueberries hit me in the face along with raspberry, blackberry, and strawberry. The finish was medium long and tasted of cherry and blue berries. The lack of tannins makes this wine a very approachable full bodied red. Pretty good.
