91 WA. "The estate's Barbera d'Alba Pairolero is beautiful in 2008. Minerals, crushed rocks, violets, blackberries and cassis are just some of the nuances that emerge from this precise, chiseled Barbera. In 2008 the minerality of the wine is particularly in evidence, while the overt fruit and oakiness of previous vintages is nowhere to be found. This is beautiful, chiseled Pairolero with superb overall balance and an undertstated, beguiling personality that makes it impossible to resist a second taste." Wine Advocate #192, Dec 2010 |
