Paitin Barbera d'Alba Superiore Campolive 2017

__
Campolive is a very steep plot on the border between Serraboella and Bricco di Neive, under the road od the Montà del Bricco. Already named as such from the monks who in the past owned this site: the field of the olive (“campo dell’oliva”). Probably centuries ago dedicated to the olive trees, since its protected and warm position.
Vinous: 91
The 2017 Barbera d'Alba Campolive offers terrific depth but also show the more restrained style that is the norm these days. Sweet red cherry, pipe tobacco, cedar, leather and menthol are nicely kicked up in this radiant yet mid-weight, beautifully perfumed Barbera.
