This wine is marked by Superiore status, although I don't believe it was until this vintage. The 2016 Barbera d'Alba Superiore Priòra is a well-contained and very elegant expression of this popular red grape from Piedmont. You feel the richness and the fullness that comes naturally to this variety, but the wine is never excessively heavy or too rich. In fact, it walks a steady line that reminds you of the inner elegance that can be achieved with Barbera when placed in the right hands.
