2012 Andrea Scovero Barbera d’Asti $156 6pack
This is a tiny production from Andrea Scovero, who represents the fifth generation of his family to organically farm their vineyards of only 4 hectares of Barbera and Nebbiolo. The fruit is hand-harvested fairly late, in order to express maximum character. Wines are made in a completely natural manner and their purity of fruit is striking. Bright red, juicy fruit with fantastic amounts of savory spice, tobacco and cooking spices. Complex and long-lingering.
The vineyard is located in a 'Ciapin,’ local dialect for an amphitheater like valley, just south of Asti in the small village of Bionzo. The Barbera d'Asti 2012 comes from 47 year old vines.
