TASTING NOTES
Andrea Scovero is based in Bionzo in the Asti zone of Piemonte, a historic area for the production of the Barbera grape. Andrea is a winemaker and an artist who took over from his father and converted his 6 hectare farm to natural production. He learned everything from his grandfather and has now been working with wine for nearly 30 years. His aim was simple: to produce the type of wine which he wants to drink himself. Andrea is a humble man, is in love with his land, his work and with all the people who share this agricultural way of life. Full bodied with complex fruit, this is a juicy, voluptuous, expressive Barbera with plenty of nuance and spice. It has plentiful tart cranberry, Damson plum, cherry and lingering tannins. -Importer's Notes
