Fantastic balance and softness but with a savory edge

Very deep purple-black color of typical Barbera. Ripe, spicy black fruit nose with deep oak, framing a core of pure black berries and plums. On the palate shows blackberries and raps berries with a chocolate and coffee mid-palate and hints of cassis

We had this wine at Cook in St Helena. Superb choice with eggplant parmigiana and pasta bolognese
