Overview

A superlative, single-vineyard, 100% Barbera from the old vines of the Pozzo dell’Annunziata plot. Produced in minimal quantities - only 1,500 magnums are produced every vintage – this is a truly iconic wine. This is a superb and almost exotic Barbera, the wine of choice for collectors and wine lovers alike.

The 2005 Barbera d'Alba Riserva Pozzo dell'Annunziata offers up an array of mineral-infused dark red fruit, licorice, new leather and graphite in a supple, refined style that is hard to describe. The tannins are silky, and finessed to the maximum in this Barbera that truly transcends variety. Ideally, readers should give the 2005 Pozzo at least a few years in the cellar. A recent bottle of the 2000 was still impossibly fresh! Anticipated maturity: 2012-2025.
