よく熟した感じの厚化粧感のない素直でふくよかな果実味。
凝縮と高密度は、似て非なるものだが、このワインはその違いを感じさせてくれる。「濃さ」を持っていて、バルベーラらしいミルク感のある果実味に、綺麗な酸とスパイス感、タバコ、ちょい青さ。複雑味もある。
フレンドリーでありながら、偉大さもあるワイン。
もう少し安かったら9点台。

April 2019. Starts off with that creamy, powdery Barbera berry fruit, like a blackberry pie. On the second day, it’s redder - moving in a Nebbiolo direction, relatively speaking. Great mouthwatering acidity

Bit too polished and the Piedmontese character is bit too restrained, a genuine wine with gentle character but maybe little too ripe in this vintage.
