Giovanni Viberti ‘La Gemella’ Barbera d’Alba DOC 2023 2020 textured with swirls of five-spiceMeaning twin, La Gemella was created to honor the winemakers mother, Maria, who is a twin herself and a lover of Barbera. Expressive floral tones of wild rose, fresh berries and crushed mineral. Full bodied layers of blueberry, licorice, and earth are perfectly balanced. A vibrancy of acid, silky tannins, and lengthy finish contribute to the outstanding quality. Aged for 1 year in tini and bottle. Will offer ideal drinking over the next 2 3 years.
