Luigi Pira - Barbera D'Alba Superiore 2018

Robert Parker : 91

' The Luigi Pira 2018 Barbera d'Alba Superiore offers a lush and rich bouquet with lots of dark fruit and blackberry. Background aromas include tilled earth, crushed stone and some blue flower or lilac. This is a pretty, mid-weight wine with vivid freshness. Fermentation finishes in stainless steel, and the wine ages in large oak casks made with Slavonian oak. Some 10,000 bottles were released. '

Vinous : 89

' The 2018 Barbera d'Alba Superiore is a fragrant, juicy Barbera to drink now and over the next few years. In this vintage, the Barbera is decidedly on the lighter, more floral side of things, but that is the vintage. '
