Soft palate of fresh ripe cherry with soft spice and rosemary on the finish. Good acidity, easy drinking, good on it's own or with food! It sees no oak, 6-8 months in stainless. Gianfranco Alessandria Barbera d'alba - $17.99!

Приятная кислинка и свежесть во вкусе, средние танины, послевкусие продолжительное. Хорошо для теплого времени года

Pretty good. I didn't love it but Maureen says it is "quite nice". Nose is rather uninteresting and alcoholic. Wine tastes fruity and mildly spiced but I'd say it lacks depth and has limited complexity. It does have a soft mouthfeel, which is nice.
