Paolo Berta, Evolution 2019 Barbera d'Asti
16.5
Full bottle 1,299 g. Six months in barriques.
Malted cherries on the nose. A bit more chocolatey than the first two Paolo Berta 2019s I've tasted. Some soft raspberry sweetness and vanilla-sweetened cedary oak. Fine fluted acidity and fine tannins brushed lightly with warm baking spice. A lovely blood-orange tang deepens into the finish. A drinking wine. (TC)
