<\/a><\/p>\nAlthough the single vineyard Lia V\u00ed 2010, (made without the addition of sulfur for the first time), is available now & super delicious, I decided to retaste the 2009 and provide you with a quick note.<\/p>\n
November 10th, 20:38 -HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!<\/strong><\/p>\n Nose:<\/strong>\u00a0Pure Barbera. Frutti di bosco (wild berries – mostly black, but some hints of red), hints of\u00a0forest\u00a0floor and black truffle. \u00a0Floral, mostly purple<\/p>\n Palate:<\/strong> \u00a0Great fruit attack with a minerality that gives the wine the feeling that it’s lightly sparkling, which it is not. Medium ripe acidity lending to the wine’s \u00a0juiciness, the juiciness you might get if you put a\u00a0handful\u00a0full of super ripe berries in your mouth. \u00a0Smooth, feminine tannins, just enough to make you reach for that semi-mature toma-Piemontese. \u00a0A slightly bitter, \u00a0semi-long finish.<\/p>\n I have stated before that I felt that Carussin creates bench-mark Barbera’s that everybody should be envious of. Not only the finished wine, but the grapes on the vine. This wine is alive and fun to drink. \u00a0A wine that can complement all parts of the meal, even white fish without pretentions. Enjoy…<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>Appearance:<\/strong> \u00a0no development showing on this still young wine. A dark-ish garnet-red with bluish reflections.<\/p>\n
