Unquestionably one of the most massive Barberas ever made the blockbuster 1997 Ai Suma (800 cases) reveals off the chart density as well as a terrific bouquet of smoke blackberries cherry liqueur licorice and violets. With exquisite richness and amazing harmony for such a gargantuan wine this full-bodied giant should drink well for 10-15 years. However its low acidity and almost over the top richness give it immediate appeal. It is a very sexy effort! This is a very impressive Barbera!
