Tenuta Carretta, Barbera d’Alba Superiore DOC (Piedmont, Italy) 2019

Jun 29, 2023

By Michael Apstein

 Tenuta Carretta’s Barbera d’Alba is a well-price robust red that’s perfect for hearty grilled meat this summer.  Supple tannins allow the immediate enjoyment of its juicy and ripe (15 percent stated alcohol) black fruit.  Barbera’s inherent acidity keeps this racy red lively and in balance.  A hint of toastiness adds complexity.
