Elio Grasso Vigna Martina Barbera d'Alba 2020 (750ml)
Elio Grasso Description
This Barbera comes from a single acre of loose, sandy soil located just above and to the west of the family home, on one of the most prestigious hills in Monforte. The wine has a deep purple color, with flashes of ruby near the edge. The nose opens with black cherries, ripe damson plums, cassis, and exotic spices. On the palate the black fruit flavors are beautifully integrated with the spicy aromas and fine-grained tannins that come from a mix of new and one-year old French barriques. This is a wine of great finesse and power, with the capacity to age well over a fifteen-year period in a good cellar.
Vinous
The 2020 Barbera d'Alba Vigna Martina offers an appealing combination of fruit intensity with Monforte structure and savoriness. Scorched earth, leather, tobacco, cedar and dried herbs all open in the glass. A lengthy ferment with submerged cap maceration yields a distinctly Barolo-like Barbera with a good bit of complexity but less overt fruit than is often found in most Barberas
