The wine looks Ruby colored. The legs are Medium. It smells like Blackberry. It tastes like Cherry. The body is Medium. The wine has Smooth texture. The wine finishes Medium. A bit more fruit forward than I would have expected for a Barbera which I think is supposed to be a cousin to Barolo grape. The somewhat lower alcohol at 13.5% should have pointed to that though. Nevertheless, we enjoyed it very much with lasagna.
