Also in line with the stimuli triggered by the event # barbera2 I bought a Barbera d'Asti doc "is" of 1997 Tenuta dei Fiori, Calo (AT).
I bought fifteen euro, the other night on the advice of the owner of Enoteca Parlapà C.so Eugene P. 17 to Turin.

I came home in confused excitement, under a deluge, and resulting drift like a wreck.

Vertical, elegant would be to say "French".
opens in tones of rosemary and thyme herbs and mineral and graphite, iron-bottom chinotto.
Tobacco and light leather, whispered rather than explosives.
mouth soft and silky and earthy, soft tannins, very tasty, perhaps slightly acidic session.
Day after.
very ripe fruit in brandy, cherry, herbaceous, floral and mineral, balsamic.

Two footnotes.
Calo is in the province of Asti, Barbera d'Asti in the appropriate sub-area "Tinella" and also in the area of \u200b\u200belection of Muscat.

Bonne degustation.
