Big round dark fruit, a bit ferrous on the back end of the palate, but that went from overwhelming to subtle and enjoyable after being open for an hour. Decent wine, wouldn't buy again at $35-$45 buy would buy around $25

This wine surprised me. It hasn't gotten great marks on here, but at the time I'm drinking it this wine is fantastic. Dark berry, blackberry, marionberry, very vegetal and earthy. Chocolate covered blackberry/blueberry aromas. Some spice on the back end of the palate. The tannins are a little grippy but fairly well resolved. Acidity is a little lower than i want but still medium. Solid buy for $50. Maybe slightly over priced

This is oddly enough a case of infanticide. Oddero is known for making quality wine, and this one is no exception. Personally I would've waited another 3-5yrs before opening, which I don't think I've ever said about barbera before.
Slightly reductive right out of the bottle. Aromas: dark berry, dark cherry, tar, spice and chocolate. Flavors: same as aromas. Medium+ acidity, medium/ slightly grippy tannins that haven't been fully resolved yet.
Solid wine, I would absolutely buy again
