Fontanabianca, Barbaresco (Piedmont, Italy) 2009

Jul 12, 2012

By Michael Franz

 If a wine can be “sexy,” this is a very good candidate for the term.  Soft, sweet, rounded and alluring, it displays lovely aromas of lavender and sweet spices, followed by tender, succulent fruit that easily counterbalanced its structural components of acidity and tannin.
