Saturday, July 26, 2014 - Medium ruby color.

Classic Barbera-nose with dark cherry, sage, licorice, raspberries, violets and some coffee beans. Medium+ intensity of aromas and the nose is developing.

Dry, full-bodied on the palate with med+ acidity, tannin and alcohol. I get flavors of dark cherry, violets, dark chocolate and fresh herbs. Finish is medium with medium intensity of flavors.

Very typical Barbera and surprisingly light on the oak for being one of Spinettas wines. Drinking ok today but I would give it more time for the tannins to settles down and get some dirty/leathery aromas. Perfect for rich dishes from the Italian kitchen.
