Nose is so earthy with notes of petrol and char and spicy pepper. Palate is medium bodied with earth and mint and dark fruit. Tannins are well integrated and there is enough acidity to balance the wine but not be noticeable. Really delicious, on its own and with speck risotto or pasta with meat sauce.

Tar, smoky oak, crushed red berry fruit, crystallised violets, lively and well-balanced, silky texture, firmer tannic grip than a Barbera from Asti would have, good varietal typicity, not profound and wearing some sweet make-up, but an attractive and thoroughly acceptable wine.
