Sort of disappointed with this bottle. Not as lucious and fruity as I remembered it. More Pinot noir style, mineral, high in acids. Still nicely integrated, hint of tanine

A more modern, rich and velvety Barbera with ripe blueberries and creamy raspberries. Rich, velvety structure with nice balance, juicy acidity and plush, velvety tannins. Almost syrupy on the palate. A bit too rich & overdone for my taste, and missing a sense of authenticity. But technically very well done.

Smooth fruits, light on acids. Very tasty.
