The 2019 Barbera d’Alba Gabutti offers a refined, lifted expression of Barbera, carrying an almost Nebbiolo-like sense of finesse and mid-weight structure. Vibrant dark cherry, tobacco, spice, leather, menthol and a touch of blood orange take centre stage, while a burst of bright acidity on the finish keeps the wine lively and refreshing. Distinctive and unmistakably characterful, it’s a compelling interpretation of the variety and one that devotees of Cappellano’s style will surely appreciate. Enjoy between 2024 and 2034.
