The opaque purple-colored 1998 Barbera d'Asti Bricco dell'Uccellone offers a seductive nose of spicy, pain grille characteristics infused with espresso, roasted meats, black cherries, and raspberries. Dense and full-bodied, with a luxurious texture, this is a super-intense, plush Barbera to enjoy over the next 7-8 years, although it will last longer.
