The flagship Barbera del Monferrato Superiore Cima Riserva della Casa is fabulous in 2011. Rich, powerful and voluptuous, but not at all overdone, the 2011 is beautifully layered in the glass. Remarkably, the 2011 manages to be intense yet retains a distinctly mid-weight feel. The Riserva della Casa shows just how much potential is hidden in the hills of the Monferrato district.
