"The 2019 Barbera d'Alba Priöra is packed with dark cherry, herbs, licorice, mocha, sage, menthol and earthiness. Clean mineral and savory notes play off the fruit nicely in this potent, pleasantly rustic Barbera. Vineyard sites are Roche dell'Olmo (Verduno) and Gramolere (Monforte d'Alba). The 2019 spent 18 months in French oak."
