Cascina delle Rose 2009 'Donna Elena' Barbera d'Alba Superiore DOC
Rating: 91
The 2009 Barbera d’Alba Superiore Donna Elena is another gorgeous wine that does a fantastic job of playing up the vitality and the energy of the grape. There’s crisp acidity at the back, great for cutting though foods with butter or cheese, but there’s enough softness and firmness to smooth over any sharp edges. This is one of the nicest Barberas made today. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2018.
