Nice red fruit and spice on the nose. Fruity and medium bodied, this is a pleasant and lively Barbera with a straightforward delivery, which is lifted by a really refreshing acidity and a very nice medium-long finish with a pleasant bitter bite.

Color: deep red. Nose: lavender like crazy. some leather. Flavor: Gorgeous dark berries and sour cherries + chocolate with an endless grip on the side of the tongue. Maybe the best tasting and long lasting tannins i've ever had. wow. wow. awesome. i wish this was more accessible in the US.

From Mark's cellar, shared with Josh. Deep red color. Sour cherry taste. Light body. Easy to drink.

Round tannins, good fruits. Earthy tones with medium finish. (Also posted on foodandwineblog.com)
