Barbera d'Alba Valletta shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of ruby
red, little transparency. The nose denotes intense, clean, pleasing and
refined aromas which start with hints of cherry, plum and blueberry
followed by aromas of blackberry, violet, vanilla, tobacco, chocolate and
white pepper. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a tannic
attack and pleasing crispness, however balanced by alcohol, good body,
intense flavors. The finish is persistent with flavors of cherry, plum and
blueberry. Barbera d'Alba Valletta ages for 18 months in barrique. |
