Elio Perrone Barbera D`Asti `tasmorcan` '24

The 2023 Elio Perrone Tasmorcan Barbera d'Asti is described as a lively, fruit-forward red wine from Piedmont with a vibrant ruby red or deep purple color. It is highly regarded for its balance of intense fruit purity and fresh acidity. The nose is loaded with fruit, primarily blueberry, raspberry, and plum. These are often accented by floral notes of violet and hints of sweet baking spices like clove and anise, as well as a touch of wild mint. It features a soft, plush texture with a deep core of mixed berry fruit, specifically ripe cherries and blackberries. Reviewers often note its "vigorous" and "intense" character that remains approachable. The wine is medium-bodied with bright, "wrapping" acidity and soft, polished tannins. It offers a long, smooth, and ripe finish with lingering spice notes like vanilla and clove.
