This wine will transport you to a small country house with a garden at its peak. The nose is an enticing blend of earthy, stemmy herbs and a mix of dried and fresh blackberries, tart raspberries, and sun-dried cranberries. Flavors of dried flowers, ripe cherries and mixed spices lift the palate but the structure and elgance of the wine is the star.

The 2019 Barbera d'Alba Morassina is fabulous. Dark, layered and super-expressive, the 2019 marks a return to classicism here where the Morassina is done entirely in cask starting with this vintage. Rose petal, leather, dried flowers, mint and dried herbs all grace this exquisite Barbera. This has come together beautifully over the last year. It's a great choice for readers with old school-leaning palates

This wine has a fun bouquet that recalls sweet red roses in a giant bouquet. Those floral notes are followed by red cherry and dried raspberry, and I even get lavender essence. The 2019 Barbera d'Alba Morassina is a charming, easy-drinking wine with the bright fruit and acidic freshness to pair with a cheesy mozzarella pizza. There's a lot of likable personality in this wine. 8,000 bottles were released.

Very aromatic with dried lemon-zest, light watermelon and strawberry character. Medium body, bright acidity and a clean finish.

From single plot and aged for 18 months in oak, the 2019 Barbera D'Alba Morassina has more perfume and concentration, with pure notes of violet, black raspberry, and wet stone. It is medium-bodied but takes on more richness, with fresh plum, ripe citrus, and turned earth. It is fairly long on the palate, with fine tannins, a clean finish, and a bit of spice. Drink 2023-2030.
