Critics
“A juicy, chewy barbera with blackberry, dried-strawberry and orange-peel aromas and flavors. It’s full, fresh and lightly chewy. Drink or hold”. – 92 Points, James Suckling.
“The 2017 Barbera d’Alba Conca Tre Pile is piled high with dark fruit intensity, soft tannins and a pinch of fresh acidity that breaks apart the wine’s rich fruit flavors. The hot vintage has taken well to the Barbera grape, accentuating its volume, richness and generosity. The bouquet offers black fruit, dried plum, spice, truffle-infused earth and toasted hazelnut”. – 93 Points, Monica Larner.
