Community Tasting Note

Sunday, March 15, 2020 - I had slightly lowered expectations for this wine based on the last bottle from June 2019, but the wine had a great showing over the last few days, seeming slightly fresher and more complex, but mostly just delicious. The red fruits (sour cherry candy) were beautiful tinged with a slight hint of blue on the finish. (I find that my personal preference leans more to red fruit vs. black/blue in my barbera, so this really clicked for me vs. darker barberas.) As before, the oak was fully and beautifully integrated. You'd likely not know how much was there in its youth. If scoring, 91-92pts on sheer enjoyment.

It was a nice pairing with both lasagna (on days 1-2) and with simple roasted chicken on day 3.

Incidentally, my first bottle was purchased directly from the winery in Italy and hauled back in my suitcase. This one came via purchase in the Pacific Northwest of the USA.
