On the nose, lots of strawberry, tart cherry, roses, violets; hint of turned earth; on the palate, lots of primary fruit character. A range of tart cherry, dried strawberry, slight porcini; tannins are fine and dusty. Finish is decently long. — 2 days ago

Pours a deep purple with ruby rim. Aromas of dark fruit (blackberry, blueberry), brambles, hint of vanilla as well as cola, Italian herbs as well. On the palate black fruit, chocolate, good acidity, supple tannins; good intensity, long finish; alcohol is definitely on the high end. It’s a big wine for what I usually drink. I think it’s a very good example of barbera. A gift from a friend. — 12 days ago

Last drank 4 mo ago; aromas on this bottle are more intense than my previous notes. Lots of sappy red fruit, dark rose, and a lot of violets. Palate also sappy, with tart acid. Really a fantastic value at around 20 USD. Bought a case; will go well with Thanksgiving dinner. — 5 days ago

Last drank around 4 months ago; current bottle congruent with those notes. This is just such a pure expression of Nebbiolo. Love this wine. — 9 days ago

9.1

Youthful lemon yellow color. Nose of just ripe apricot, peach, faint pineapple, yellow flowers, slight hint of cheese rind. Palate confirms stone fruit, slate minerality, high acid, decent length. Does finish with a bit too much phenolic bitterness which keeps the score lower. Still, a nice wine — 12 days ago
