Carussin’s Barbera labeled Lie Vi shows the importance of old vines. From a single vineyard whose vines average about 40 years, it delivers more purity, complexity and depth without losing any of the energy of their regular — Asinoi — bottling. Indeed, it has even more vivacity, which amplifies the finish. It would perk up a simply roasted chicken without breaking the bank.
