Icardi Barbera D’asti 2004 (4/5)
Although I had only tried one Italian red wine before this one I had almost given up on Italian wines. I have to tell you, that Icardi’s Barbera D’asti was really quite smooth.
Honestly I would not have tried it had it not been that some guests brought if over for dinner. I told them we were having Italian Sunday Gravy so my old friend decided the wine. She hit it right on the head.
The overall taste was pretty smooth with just a hint of fruit and very little “bit” that comes with some wines from Italy. I’d have to say I will seek this one out next time I plan on having my Sunday Gravy.
It would be worth a try of you plan on having pasta with red sauce or a red meat..or in my case, both.
Cheers to Mae Mae for the choice wine.
