Covalli 2019 Barbaresco DOCG, $21.14-$29.99, 93 points, poured a light brandy red with thin hanging-lightly stained legs, and a broad clear meniscus.
Aromas of pine resin, black tea, and red raspberry Kool-Aid were pleasant.
I find Barbaresco red wines to be generally medium-bodied with bright acidity, and this Covalli was no different; showed bone-dry with puckering grainy tannins, great spiciness, and good flavors of black tea, sweet cooking herbs, and hints of strawberry.
Finished very long on the trailing palate, a hint of eucalyptus, rose pedal, iron, red raspberry, and a well-balanced 14% alcohol.
Paired perfectly with my veggie-mozzarella flatbread pizza.
