Bruna Grimaldi, Barbera d'Alba Superiore 'Scassa' 2021 Astrolabe

Bruna Grimaldi, Barbera d'Alba Superiore 'Scassa' 2021 AstrolabeA big wine, concentrated, fresh, and elegant, full of dark spicy fruit and some graphite flavours, rounded by a little new wood, and finishing on a smooth bright note.

Very closed nose

savouring a glorious wine produced by Alexandre de Almeida

mineral finish

prune and a touch of orange peel

Fresh and juicy red berry characters on the palate backed by supple tannins

savoury and full of Meunier character

Not at all jammy or sweet

The savoury fruit is well balanced and lifted by the piquant acidity

lively sparkle

Ripeness and fine acidity on the finish

backed up by smokiness and crisp acidity

pear and herbal flavours and the terroir minerality
