August 1, 2017 - No formal notes taken. Rich, dark fruit but with good balance from acidity. Spicy backbone and some secondary aromas. Very nice Barbera. Would like to drink another bottle under calmer circumstances.

June 2, 2016 - Unglaublich elegant, von vibrierender Frische, mit dunkler Frucht und saftiger Säure. Lakritz, Lorbeer, Preiselbeere und eine ätherische Kräuterwürzigkeit. Vollmundig und doch feingliedrig, spannendes Gaumenspiel und lang anhaltend.

May 18, 2016 - Tasted at the Cantina Communale in Castiglione Falletto, this had been open for a day. Whereas the 2013 version is off-limits right now, this is open and ready for business. I think Nanda's note is spot on. Drink now or hold for a few more years. recommended
Served non-blind.
