Soft, plump and nicely done with a leathery hint. High acid and soft tannins fit the bill – but £26 seems an awful lot for this. (RH)

The 2008 Barbera d'Alba is a beautifully pointed, focused wine. Dark raspberries, flowers, minerals and smoke are woven together in a fabric of notable verve. The mid-weight, vibrant style is a bit of departure from some of the bigger, lusher Barberas Sandrone has made in previous years, but I find the clean, driven personality of the wine highly attractive, not to mention incredibly food friendly.
