The 2020 Barbera d'Asti La Crena is soft and voluptuous from the outset. In this vintage, La Crena is significantly forward and fruit-driven. The 2020 will need at least a few years for the classic La Crena aromas and flavours to emerge fully. Hints of gravel, crushed rocks and dried herbs linger, hinting at what will come. La Crena usually blossoms with time in the bottle. I won't at all be surprised if that happens here as well. 93+ points Galloni.
