Deep Ruby In Colour. Red and Black Cherry, herbs, earthy - lovely aromatics. A little vanilla on the nose but the oak is well integrated. On the palate more full bodied than I was expecting with those same red and black cherry savoury earthy flavours - low acid. A perfect match with home made Pizza. Good Barbera is under rated I believe.

Dunno how to rate this, ripe vintage and has been met with some serious oak work; not quite how I see Barbera, but drinks like a serious wine. Bluefruits, plum, dark cherry, vanilla and slight toast. Highish acid and fine gummy tannins.

Very punchy on the front, juicy red fruit and mouth-puckering acidity. Slightly warming on the back. Does not overstay its welcome on the palate. Tannins round out with fat.
