Reviews and Ratings

Dan Trcka Wine Blogger rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

The 2011 Bersano Costalunga Barbera D'asti has appealing red currant, raspberry, stems and lifted woody/oaky and vanilla notes. It is a medium bodied, perceivably dry, fruity wine; with forward acidity, subtle tannins (decant for 15 min) and a medium finish. It is food and sipping friendly; drink now to 2017. My impression: quite NICE, 88 pts – recommended for its value. Tasted Nov/13.

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Beautiful deep ruby colour. Aromas of currant, raspberry and a bit of spice. More berry aromas come through as the wine opens up. Similar flavours on the palate with a hint of oak. Medium body and finish. Delicious paired with beef ribs and even used some in the braising liquid. A really good value wine!
