Tasting- Bricco Dei Tati Barbera

Tasting- Bricco Dei Tati Barbera

Name: Bricco Dei Tati
Variety: 100% Barbera
Country: Italy
Year: 2013
Price: $8.99

Winery Review:
This is a young, fresh, lively Barbera with a persistent and attractive bouquet of black cherries and a bit of spice on the palate. It has few tannins which is typical of the Barbera varietal, and a medium finish. Delightfully approachable, it is great with medium to strong cheeses, barbecue and game.

My Review:
Perhaps the fault is mine as some mistakes were made opening the bottle allowing for the introduction of tiny bits of cork into the wine. Bottle opening silliness aside, this wine was extremely bitter and did go quite well with some beef I had that week. I got hints of some earthy, musty flavors and hints of cherries.
