  Nicely aged and drinking quite well. Dark cherries and raspberries on the nose with a slight floral fragrance. Soft tannins; medium finish. Raspberry and cherry flavors with a little pepper. Quite nice.

  Rich dark berry fruits and very soft tannins--surprising for a Barbera.

  Grapey, but enjoyable with Italian food. Held up better than expected with braised short rib pappardelle.

  Medium ruby/purple in color, this wine is made for short term consumption offering red berries, licorice, and a hint of tobacco on the nose. The palate shows sour cherry, tobacco, raspberry, and a hint of chocolate and coffee. With medium acidity, low tannins, and medium finish, it is a good table wine that works well with pizza and simple pasta dishes.
