  Serious barbera. Purple, opaque color. Scents a bit muted at instant, revealing dark fruit and tobacco after a while. Full mouth feel, supple tannins and medium long finish. Paired well with rigatoni and fugasse.

  Lots to recommend. Plum colored, Big nose - tobacco, rose oetal. Big, well integrated flavors, tar, raisin, red fruit, sweet tannins lingering finish. Outstanding and complex barbera

  Really tasty but would benefit from a few more years of age.

  I red the previous notes and wanted to try by myself. On my view this wine is way too young. At least 5 more years to reach somehow readyness. After 6 hrs ox it became nicer 😉 but atm loaded and serious!
