Bocchino Giuseppi Arduine Barbera d'Asti 2011

Asian spice, charred cedar and ripe, dried dark fruit aromas intro a balanced and lively, racy river of sour cherry and tangy red berry fruit on the palate. It's mid weight with nice texture and a solid spine of acidity throughout. It finishes dry and refreshing with prominent sprigs of herbaceous tones on the aftertaste. Pour with pasta in tomato sauce. Score - 3 1/2 Stars (out of 5). (Vic Harradine, winecurrent.com, Dec. 4, 2012)
