About this Item

Barbera d'Alba Vigna Martina 2013
5 (1 x 5) 750ml
From Elio Grasso's family estate in Monforte d'Alba, the Vigna Martina is the estate's single-vineyard Barbera d'Alba, from a producer whose Barolo and Barbera are counted among the finest in Monforte. The 2013 was a fine and well-balanced vintage across the Langhe, producing wines of freshness and good structural elegance. Bruce Sanderson from Wine Spectator gave it a rating of 90.

Critics Ratings

“A layer of sweet vanilla and chocolate coats the blueberry, cassis and violet flavors. Dense, remaining pure and long on the finish.” - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, 90/100 (Feb 2016)
