THE LANDLORD’S SPECIAL RECOMMENDATION

Rive, Barbera d’Asti il Cascinone; Piedmont, Italy (D)

A deep garnet hued Barbera with vibrant aromas of black cherries and prunes with chocolate, toasty oak undertones and a touch of mint. An abundance of vibrant red currants, black cherries and a touch of spice show through on the palate which has a rich, voluptuous texture balancing taught acidity and fine oak tannins. A Masterpiece!
