#barbera I really enjoyed this wine. The tannins were so smooth and glyceric. We drank the bottle without hardly winking an eye. #piedmonte

Really expressive and large. Even better a few days after opening. Lengthy and delicious, if not layered.

Showing quite nicely. Fruit forward but so well supported. Corkage is reasonable at $20.
