Aleramico Barbera d’Asti 2003

Red stinky leather on the nose, quite stinky really, with raspberry fruits, earth and dry savoury spices. The palate is lighter bodied, with sweet red fruits matched by spice, leather and black earth. There is also a fair amount of acid, but the length is good, and though obviously rustic in nature, it is pleasant and well suited to food and lively conversation. Drink now.
