Maretti Barbera & Nebbiolo 2013 $30 ★★★½
This is a classic spicy red with bounce and buoyancy from Piedmont in Italy’s north-east, Barbera is famous for intense acidity and freshness, while Nebbiolo steadies the blend with it’s sold structure and length. I like the toasty, leather, spiced plum and bright berry flavours alongside the tangy, tarry liquorice and peppery mouthfeel. For stockists email misha@procureliquor.co.nz
