More black cherry than red cherry / earthy / baked red fruit offset by slight licorice, underbrush / acid keeps the structure in check, which at times leans on the full side

Soft tannins, some fruit but not sweet, easy to drink. Good for a group when you are not sure of peoples preferences.

Confused by the other ratings. I thought it was harsh, but it did open up a little more the next day.

Barbera d' Alba 2016 - Giacomo Fenocchio. Vibrant and fleshy, with a deep mineral vein pushing forward its sweet aromas of gooseberry, mulberry, licorice and cocoa powder. Sharp acidity and terroir-driven salinity intertwine with mounting flavors of sweet red berries and blood orange. Finishes pure and lean despite the 15% abv . Awesome!

Ripe fruits, hint of Tobacco? Fresh, bright would love to pair with pasta
