Emilio Vada 2017 – Barbera d’Asti 

The nose is fruity, fine, elegant, gourmand, racy, finely powerful and offers depthness as well as a beautiful grain. It reveals notes of wild black berries and cassis combined with small notes of strawberry, ripe cherry as well as a hint of flowers, spices, tonka beans and very discreet touches of racy minerality (in the background). The palate is fruity, well-balanced, finely powerful and offers juiciness, minerality, straightness, a good structure as well as a fine acid frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of wild raspberry, wild blackberry and small notes of cherry associated with a discreet hint of wild berries, plum as well as discreet touches of minerality (almost saline) and very discreet / imperceptible hints of garrigue (in the background). Tannins are fine and well-built. Good persistence.
