Bricco Dei Guazzi Barbera D'asti 2008, D.O.C.G., Piedmont, Italy: Tarry black and brooding with aromas of blackcurrant, cassis, black licorice and pepper. Full-bodied with lots of layers of flavour that can stand up to bold meaty dishes. A pleasantly bitter and refreshing finish. Complex and satisfying.
