Luca Ferraris, La Regina, Barbera d'Asti, Superiore, 2012

Luca Ferraris, La Regina, Barbera d’Asti Superiore 2012 is the usual full-throttle style for Ferraris, who likes his wines flavourful, big and bold; the relatively hot 2012 vintage contributes to the rich, fleshy, almost red-cherry, syrupy texture.
