G.B. Burlotto - Barbera d'Alba 2023 (750ml)

Vinous 91 points
"The 2023 Barbera d'Alba is another fine entry-level offering from Burlotto. In 2023, Fabio Alessandria did not feel the Aves, his top Barbera, was materially different from this, the straight bottling, so he blended all the fruit together. Consequently, the Barbera has a bit more fruit density and a touch of oak influence (from new casks) that it does not usually have. Succulent red cherry, plum, spice, cedar and rose petal build nicely in the glass."
