  Pretty and luxuriously transparent purple. Interesting aromas of cloves, savory meats and earth. Some nice red cherry and pine sap to go with its bakers chocolate and Turkish coffee flavors. Easy to drink palate with surprising depth and nice lift.

  Sometimes I hit a string of reds that I don't like and I start to wonder if there's something the matter with my taste buds. I hope that this is a turning point. A nice pleasing light red, tastes of cherries and reminds me of gamay. Good with veal and ricotta meatballs in tomato sauce.

  Very nice Barbera. Good structure, yet light and complex. I would buy more. A very good indication of how his entry level Barolo's are.

  6/22/2022 - Brendel Does not like this wine: 84 Points

  Nose: Funk, medium leather, peppers, violet; tomato juice; nose suggests a bolder and heavier bodied wine.
  Palate: yummy, Merlot-like sweetness of black cherries, tint of licorice (personally a dislike), velvety coating mouthfeel, medium acidity, impressively integrated tannins, very slight savory note of salami, chorizo and tomato; heavy fruity/savory.
  Finish: short to medium finish.
  
  For price paid, $25 in the US, this is not worth it. It would be okay at $15, although we vastly prefer the Vajra Langhe Rosso at that price.
