2013 Giacomo Bologna Braida Bricco dell' Uccellone, Barbera d'Asti DOCG, Italy (750ml)

TASTING NOTES: Ground pepper, tilled earth and black-skinned berry aromas all come together on this generous, full-bodied red. The fresh, delicious palate doles out ripe black cherry, black currant, licorice and clove alongside vibrant acidity and polished, fine-grained tannins.    - Wine Enthusiast, 93 pts I like the mineral, dark berry and lime aromas and flavors here. Real Barbera. Medium body, fresh acidity and a clean finish. Drink now.   - James Suckling, 91 pts Sweet blackberry and plum fruit gets a lift from vanilla and other spices in this polished red. Fresh and long, echoing the fruit and spice elements on the finish. Drink now through 2020.   - Wine Spectator, 91 pts
