The gorgeous purple colour paves the way to the notes of blueberries, blackberries and plums. Right after scents of sweet cocoa, toffee, cinnamon and caramel round up the nose sensations.
On the palate the bright acidity reminds you that you are drinking a Barbera and will help to forget the high alcohol content.
Ermanno Costa's Barbera Superiore is so well balanced that not even the slightest sense of burning sensation is being detected.
The velvet tannins are well integrated and gentle, providing a fine-grained texture and mouthfeel to the wine. There is no astringency, no tactile sensation, the approach is smooth and the finishing is simply elegant.
This is a precise and well structured wine, neither component stand out in relation to the other, these are the hallmarks of a good quality wine!
Simone Costa from the winery Ermanno Costa Cascina Spagnolo talks about it in the video below.
