Renato Ratti Barbera d'Alba 2012

Black cherry, licorice and a cool menthol lift on the nose, classic Barbera from La Morra. In the mouth, the fruit comes across as surprisingly plush and generous, with Barbera's characteristic high acidity giving everything a juicy, almost mouth-watering energy. The finish turns more savory, signing off with notes of spice and licorice.
