2003 Barbera d'Asti Bricco della Bigotta, Braida, Rochetta Tanaro, Piedmont
Very classy, restrained wine from the acclaimed maestro of Barbera. A single-vineyard wine aged in barrel for 16 months, such is its intensity. Has a very deep colour with a nose of spice but also plum, minerals and an earthy touch. The palate is focused and defined with a dry, restrained tone. Exceptional barbera with a long future. Wooden cases.
