Isiri Barbera d'Asti

Tuesday, April 15, 2014


Name: Isiri

 

Variety: Barbera (14% Alcohol)
Region: Piemonte
Country: Italy
Year: 2010
Price: $11


My Review: This wine is a deep ruby red color that appears to be medium bodied.  It smells very fruity, mostly of cherries and strawberries, and there is also a hint of a steak sauce smell similar to A1.  After tasting this wine there is also a slight taste of wheat bread along with the fruit.  This is a slightly dry wine with medium tannins, but slightly too much burn on the finish.

Winery Review: Ripe cherry, plum, and red berries combine with bright acidity to create a fresh, young wine ready to drink now.  It pairs well with beef kebabs, cornish game hens, veal chops, and hard cheeses.





I did not drink this with food
I would drink this again (8/10)
