Cascina Chicco Granera Alta Barbera d'Alba 2012

A rich and saturated red, featuring black currant, blackberry and pepper aromas and flavors. Though firm, this remains well-integrated, with fruit and spice notes lingering on the finish. Drink now through 2018. Special Designation: Smart Buys Score - 91. (Bruce Sanderson, winespectator.com, Nov. 15, 2013)
