Terroir-istes International - Italy, Piedmonte (Rodwell House): Med- ruby colour going to a brown rim. The aromas are black cherry, dark chocolate and quite a dollop of oak. Sour cherry on the entry with a high acid thrust with a furry texture. The mid-palate is all about dark bitter chocolate and oak spice. It appears as a mid-weighted easy-going Barbera but lacks a bit of depth. The shrill acidity keeps it fresh and upright as the tannins feel shapeless and lacking. Oak still troubles me, though.
