Lighter in body than the 2011, but every bit as good. How did MacArthur miss out on the 2012?!

Revealing a wonderfully expressive bouquet of dark fruits, licorice, sweet florals and minerals. On the palate, I found focused black cherry fruit with hints of spice and dark earth, which lasted well into the finish along with a juicy bump of brisk acidity that made the mouth water. This is a classically-styled Barbera that will give a lot of pleasure to fans of the old-world style.

The Fantino bros do it again! What a lovely, elegant Barbera. Real fresh and pretty, just how they should be.
