This is a Barbera d'Asti from Bava, a family owned winery going back to
the 1600s, which has become famous for its Barbera over the years. Its
top offering is named after the famous violin maker Stradivarius and
this Libera is a mid-range offering from younger vines in the PianoAlto
farmhouse in Agliano d'Asti. Whilst its flagship wine is aged in
barriques, Libera is only bottle aged after fermentation in stainless
steel. The wine above was a deep ruby, with a rather closed nose opening
slightly to reveal tannin, acid and a touch of fruit. The palate was
slightly sweet on entry turning acid in a pleasant mouthwatering way. An
acid backbone provided structure.
