Tenuta Il Cascinone 'Crocera' Barbera d'Asti 2020

A long term NYW favourite this and the 2020 may be the biggest yet in terms of style, although the Croecera is alwas a hearty number this vintage is very beefy! Very dark in the glass with a touch of raisin on the nose, the palate is rich and plush with plum purée , almost supercharged Merlot but has better acidity and a flick of oak.
Was delicious with a mushroom, bacon, pepperoni, jalpaeno and sundried tomato pizza !
