Staff Pick Notes

Fresh raspberry on the nose and red strawberry on the palate are the first two things that I noticed tasting this wine. Then I noticed gentle spicy notes such as cinnamon and licorice. Overall it is a very pleasant and easy to drink wine with a pleasant concentration. Mario Maria Crivelli is a very established winemaker in the Asti area. He, like his grandfather, always tried to respect the traditional qualities of Barbera—he stopped using wooden barrels for aging in favor of stainless steel vats. Because of its bright acidity, I would pair this wine with strong cheeses and braised meats.

Wherever they fall on the spectrum of stodginess, however, they are generally ruby-colored, full-bodied, and highly acidic, with remarkably low levels of tannins. The areas that are most strongly associated with Barbera (for good reason) are the Alba and Asti DOCs, which consistently produce...
