A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Barbera d’Asti, the 2009 Alterego flows across the palate with layers of dark plums, grilled herbs and tobacco, all supported by fine, silky tannins. The mid-weight, gracious finish adds to the wine’s balance and early appeal. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2017.
