My prior tasting opinion confirmed. Not a typical barbera, over-ripe, almost pungent.

Overly fruity, lacking complexity.
Short decant time, the nose has a strong cherry element as does the palate with acidity that is on the tart side. This is food fare, as a stand alone it does not have enough character.

Interesting....red fruit aromas and flavors in between a Gamay and Pinot Noir.
Dark fruited and some raisins, and then some wild Italianess on the palate.
....similar tasting as last but paired it with lighter fare.
Ruby red with red fruit aromas. Light bodied and had red fruit flavors. Short Medium dry finish.
