Perrone Barbera D'Asti Tasmorcan

The appeal of many Barbera from Italy is the round fruit and plush tannins, but if you allow a little acidity to remain in the wine, the grape gets another dimension. Identifying and preserving acidity may be Elio Perrone’s superpower, artistically complementing the ripe fruits of blueberries, plums, baking spices and overall freshness. Elio describes this wine as, “pleasure, the joy of life, praise to nature and to grapes.” A characterful single-vineyard Barbera d'Asti from the Monferrato hills — the Tasmorcan bottling shows brighter acidity and more terroir definition than the average Barbera, with cherry fruit and savory depth.
