Old World to it's core. It's got everything that you expect from a quality Barbera, the leather and the acidity. After opening up, you'll get the aroma of dark fruits and spice. I love the rustic aspect of this wine, it's exactly what I wanted from this bottle. It's got the leather, tight acidity, and fresh berries that you want. A nice, long finish caps this baby off.

Awesome Barbera. Fresh but with nice weight. Loads of flavorful dark fruit (plum ) intermingled with earth and graphite notes. Great value at around $20.
