Austri Langhe Rosso, San Fereolo 2013 (Piedmont, Italy)

95% Barbera & 5% Nebbiolo of notable expressiveness, power, and energy. The dark-toned fruits announce themselves with a roar: sappy black cherry, cassis, roasted plums, and wild black raspberry before joining forces with leather, mountain herbs, espresso, cedar, tobacco, and a touch of barnyard. The brooding, medium-plus-bodied palate is framed by extremely fine tannins and a steady flow of acidity that enhances the fierce mineral core of crushed black stone and fired clay. It’s a powerful yet resoundingly poised Piedmontese red with multiple dimensions to offer so please savor it slowly—we suggest over two nights.
