Anno Italiano Part I




Welcome, Anno Italiano. It's a returning to my roots. This only drinking Italian wines. One year. One theme. One nation. Italy, and all its many, glorious, varied wines.

Cascina Val del Prete "Serra de'Gatti" Barbera d'Alba 2009 ** Deep red licorice color. Musky, primeval, nicely balanced throughout the mouth. Hard to place, blind, as a Barbera d'Alba. I would have thought Spanish, from the Tempranillo style nose, but it's quite nice, and a perfect start to Anno Italiano.
