title: Palladino 2005 Bricco delle Olive  (Barbera d'Alba Superiore)
description: A warm easygoing wine with aromas of black cherry, menthol and earth. On the palate, the flavors were less intense, and the mint and fruit character had not entirely resolved themselves. The finish, though, was solid and it would probably benefit from a couple of years of cellaring.
variety: Barbera
designation: Bricco delle Olive
