Paolo Conterno Bricco Barbera d'Asti DOCG 2018 Review

Polished with just the right kind of rustic, this wine is an excellent weeknight red. It has a soft juicy fruit core and a subtle tannin structure that gives a slight grip. It’s youthful and tastes like it. Pasta night with a good gravy is in order here.
