2021 Barbera d'Alba, Enzo Boglietti, Piemonte (magnum)

If Nebbiolo is Piedmonte's star red varietal, then Barbera surely comes a very close second. Enzos entry cuvee Barbera is a symphony of candied raspberry and bramble fruit, crème de cassis and lifted pink petal aromas.

The weight here is delicate, but the fruit impact on the palate is plush and pure, with such ripeness and direction. There is a structured, earthy core to this Barbera whilst a veil of freshness and fine tannin complete this modern, bold and expressive wine.
