Tasting notes
The opaque purple-colored 1997 Barbera d'Asti Costamiole offers gorgeous, sexy notions of pain grille, lead pencil, and sweet, jammy strawberry/cherry fruit. Full-bodied, with noticeable acidity. It is outstanding, and should drink well for another 5-7 years. Importer: Remy Amerique, New York, NY; tel. (212) 399-0200
