Okay I guess. No mid palate. Expected more from this producer.

Never really enjoyed Barbera, find there's too many examples lacking any real definition, this one is high toned/aromatic, showing really well.

Not too much going on in flavor. A bit tannic with no complexity. Helped a little to decant overnight and better with red sauce pasta.

Good wine selection at Eataly Chicago. This was good after breathing for a while. Went well with spaghetti Cacio-Pepe.

One of my all-time favorite wines; hard to describe, definitely better with food. Had this at Eataly in Chicago!

Snäll italienare. Väldigt len men jag skulle nog uppskatta lite mer strävhet. Dracks på Expo hotel Fornebu, Oslo.
