Barbera d'Alba Aves, Comm. G.B. Burlotto 2019

Tasting Notes

Rather than a selection of extra-ripe grapes, Aves is made from bunches that have the greatest potential for complexity, depth and longevity. Quantities can vary significantly from year to year and in some, this bottling isn’t made at all. Aromas veer towards sweet spice rather than floral nuances. Concentrated, plush and dripping with dark red cherries, the 2019 is velvety in texture but exhibits no lack of freshness or acidity. It stands up confidently to ageing in 500-litre barrels. 2021-2026
