#67 Barbera from Sartirano

If you read the previous post you noticed I closed with "so let's not complain." So I won't and I will rapidly move along to the next bottle of the evening and leave the dolcetto alone. This bottle was acquired at a wine tasting here this summer. We stay in Piedmont but move over to a more distinguished grape.... Barbera.

I have had many wonderful Barberas over the years. The best, Barbara di Asti are well rounded enjoyable wines with some aging potential. The lesser bottles can be insipid plonk. This one falls in the middle but it was a door prize so.... I wont complain.
