Armando Piazzo, Barbaresco (Piedmont, Italy) 2009

Jul 18, 2012

By Michael Franz

 This feminine wine is a little light in color and weight and might not initially seem as impressive as some others, but it packs a lot of punch on a light frame.  Fresh aromas show floral and spice notes, followed by engaging flavors of dried red cherries that remain sweet through the finish, which is structured by lots of ripe, fine-grained tannin.
