Note di degustazione
The 2007 Barbera d'Alba Carolina is sumptuous, refined and elegant. Dark fruit, flowers and French oak emerge from this supple, beautifully-crafted wine. The French oak is borderline excessive, but in this style, the Carolina is as fine a Barbera as readers are likely to find. The fruit retains great freshness, clarity and delineation throughout. This is a marvelous effort from proprietor Mario Roagna.

This is a superb set of wines from proprietor Mario Roagna and Cascina Val del Prete, a small family-run property that deserves to be far better known.
