Very nice, value Barbaresco with crunchy red fruits, fairly smooth tannins, and some nice smoke and balsamic notes too. This benefited from several hours in the decanter. Light-to medium-bodied and a bit "thin," but a very good food wine (aren't most Italians that?), this time paired with a gluten free vegan red-sauce lasagna (better than it sounds). This might improve with more cellar time, but don't see a huge upside on it.

Un-expectedly elegant, inviting and fruity featuring cherry, strawberry and rose petal. Medium acidity and soft tannins. Well balanced in a medium lenght finish. This is a well made wine. Paired nicely with spaghetti with meatballs and marinara sauce. NI:4, FI:21, FC:8, B:4, L:3

Russk. Not very compelling. Perhaps in a year or two it will be more interesting.

Limpid at edges, nose of cherries. Tannins mostly resolved, vivid acidity, food friendly and good value.
