Tasting notes
The 1998 Barbera d'Alba Serraboella exhibits a dark ruby/purple color as well as a sweet nose of blackberry, raspberry, and toasty oak aromas. Medium-bodied, plump, and fleshy, with enough tangy acidity to provide definition and vibrancy, it can be drunk over the next 3-4 years.

Dark red-ruby. Aromas of redcurrant, cherry, tobacco and earth; showed more pungent red fruits as it opened in the glass. Silky, dense and seamless; very rich but fresh, thanks to lovely acidity. Complicating notes of cured meat and exotic spices. Finishes quite long and sappy, with very fine tannins.
