The 2018 Barbera d'Alba all from Pira, is a very pretty, aromatic wine. In this vintage, the Barbera is a bit more floral and savory, but ess texturally intense than in many years, but that adds to its accessibility. Cedar, tobacco, dried herbs, autumn leaves and earthy notes linger.

This old-school Barbera has matured nicely, evoking plum, blackberry, almond, leather and resin flavors. Loses a little steam in the end, where a mineral element emerges. Drink now. 555 cases made.
