Casa Santosola Barbera D'asti

I went shopping for a Barolo, but couldn't find one in my price range. This was in the Piedmont section, so I gave it a try. It was a very good wine, but... it was not sufficiently different from a so many other Italian reds. When I looked it up on the chart, I found that the grape, the Barbera, is right next to Sangiovese.

The product was good, the price was good, but this one just did not stand out. 6 of 10.
