(89 Points) The 2006 Barbera d’Asti Superiore Bionzo is a wine of notable character. A deep, inky purple, it offers a multitude of mineral-infused dark fruit, blueberry jam, minerals, tar, spices and French oak. The Bionzo possesses the greater acidity that is typical of Barberas from Asti and it will take longer to come around than the Barbera Gallina. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2018. Giorgio Rivetti has another set of very solid wines on his hands with his 2005 Barbarescos. The wines have always shown terrific balance and are just a notch or two below his 2004s.
