A little too much on the heavy side. Full of edges even after 7 years which shows some lack of balance. The alcoh shows as well. Not as good as a Vietti.

A beautiful barbera! Purple color, nose of bramble, boysenberries and red stone fruit adds a very suitable bitternes, fresh and cool fruit, modest tannins nicely integrated, long with no noticable acidity. Stayed fresh and cool even as the temp rose.

Mark De Grazia selections: 05 Barolos, 04 Brunellos, 06 Barbarescos (MK, Chicago IL): nose: good light and easy nose of sweet red cherries, berries, and bits of tar. Not much depth and a bit simplistic
taste: Easy tones of red cherries, berries, and hints of florals. Medium feel with medium acidity
overall: a solid barbera, but simplistic and doesn't bring much depth. Easy drinking, but doesn't excite at all
