Review
The 2017 Barbera d'Alba Superiore Vigna Le Masserie offers up an exotic mélange of blueberry jam, cloves, licorice, spice and leather. In 2017, the Masserie is a bit riper than it can be, but that is the vintage speaking. Even so, there is plenty of the structure that makes the Boschis wines so distinctive.

Review
Released in 1,115 bottles and 16 magnums, the Boschis Francesco 2018 Barbera d'Alba Superiore Vigna Le Masserie shows an inky or impenetrable appearance. This Barbera, which spends time in steel and later in tonneaux, is thickly layered with blackberry, dried cherry and plum. Overall, it is full-bodied but reveals medium length. It's perfect for a classic pasta of salsiccia e panna.

Review
The 2019 Barbera d'Alba Superiore Vigna Le Masserie is a dense, opulent wine. Black cherry, smoke, licorice, chocolate and cloves are all kicked up in this beautifully dense, full-throttle Barbera. The 2019 is not a subtle wine, but it packs tons of punch and is an absolute delight to taste.

Review
The 2020 Barbera d'Alba Superiore Vigna Le Masserie is the more potent of the two Barberas. It marries notable fruit intensity with quite a bit of structure and plenty of acidity. There's good energy, even if the ripe red-toned fruit seems a bit clamped down today. It will be interesting to see if this opens. Today, the Superiore feels a bit clenched. Inky blue/purplish fruit, gravel, incense and smoke build into the virile finish.
