Viberti Giovanni 'La Gemella' 2015 Barbera D'Alba, $9.99-$18.99, 88 points, poured a lovely lipstick red grading toward the pinkish side at the broad clear wine ring and leggy glass bowl.
Aromatic toasty cherry fruit, black tea, cocoa, and a whisper of red raspberry were pleasurable.
Medium-bodied with good acidity and tolerant tender tannins supported flavors reflective of the aromas.
Finished fair on the fading palate, furtive spice notes, and a spot-on 14% alcohol.
Paired perfectly with our spaghetti in a marinara sauce.
