Showing a greater degree of muscle and brawn, the 2013 Barbera d`Alba Scudetto needs a few more months of bottle rest before it completely relaxes. The wine emits energy and tightness that speaks to the quality of fruit produced in the classic 2013 vintage. The bouquet offers dark fruit flavors with spice, dried plum and toasted hazelnut. The wine is generous and broad in terms of its mouthfeel and texture. Drink 2017-2024. 91 points
