"Pelissero goes from strength to strength with his 2006 Barbera d’Alba Piani. The wine possesses notable concentration in its dark jammy fruit and sweet toasted oak. Made in a full-bodied, super-ripe style, it reveals silky-textured tannins and awesome harmony. The oak remains present, but well-balanced. Anticipated maturity:2008-2014."
