The prestigious international magazine The Wine Advocate, founded by the renowned critic Robert Parker, has rated our Barbera d'Alba DOC Dü Gir 2001 with an excellent score of 89/100. In the tasting notes published in the 2003 guide, the wine is described as "an impressive effort for a Barbera from the Barbaresco zone". The review praises its ruby/purple tonality and the sweet, plummy notes enriched by an excellent contribution of "vanilla, cedar, cloves, and cardamom from the oak". Its fresh and fleshy flavors and light refreshing acidity, the critic concludes, "indicate high level grapes and winemaking".
