Rich, oaky black fruit nose: blackberries, power and force. Broad and fleshy, this has weight and shoulders, with oak tannins and just enough acidity to carry through to a long finish. A bit monolithic and not nuanced, but a satisfying mouthful. 93/100

Suckling om: Barbera d'Alba

This is a dense and beautiful barbera with plums and dark chocolate. Full body, firm tannins and a savory finish. Delicious. Drink now. 92/100

Pio Cesare does a great job across its line of wines, but it shows a particularly deft hand with their lower-end wines like this food-friendly Barbera d'Alba. There should be some great value here, and production is ample with 80,000 bottles made. 90/100
