Community Tasting Note

  • RRees wrote: 89 points

    February 1, 2011 - Medium bodied Barbera from the cheaper end of Piedmonte, the most impressive part of this wine experience is the density of flavor in the mid palate.Not so much the direct taste but depth and duration of after-taste. Nose is soft, clean and promises cherries and milky chocolate with a dusting of truffles. There are the expected rustic characteristics, but after a bit of work in the glass - ends up presenting like a friendly muscle-bound giant who is into chocolate dipped cherry candy. It is fun to look at and a great starting block for Barbaresco beginners like myself.
