The 2022 Barbera D'Alba Campass comes from 35-year-old vines within Serraboella that generally ripen a bit earlier. The wine spent 18 months in French oak barrique (20% new and the rest old) and is the only wine for which they use barrique. It has a deep red/purple color and opens to layered and pure notes of blackberry liqueur, lavender oils, cedar, and wet stone, with a fresh pepper spice that frames the aromatics beautifully. The acidity is remarkable and refreshing, with a bright, even feel without greenness and refined tannins. Very pretty and long on the palate, this is certainly a highlight of the vintage. Drink 2025-2040.
