Beautifully balanced in both structure and flavors... Medium bodied, soft tannins, mild extraction... Herbs, fruits and mineral all working harmoniously.

Unique barbera aged in French oak. Great acidity with a touch of wood. Good pizza wine.

A part of the wine is put in stainless steel vats for 15 – 18 months, another part is kept in small French barrels. After the ageing, the wine is put in the bottles without any filtration


Concentrated black fig, dark cherry, plum, red rose pedals, red flowers. Med p body, med p acid, juicy, fruit forward, sour raspberry tart finish. Juicy juicy yummy yummy barbara, hint of ashy earthiness on the end. Enjoyable by the glass, 13.5 abv.
