Community Tasting Notes 3

April 24, 2020 - Aged in used French barrels for 9 months, then returned to tank for 30 days prior to bottling. Fruit sourced from Enzo’s holdings in Sinio, Roddino, and La Morra.
Decanted.
Aromas are classic Barbera and scream from the glass notes cherry, brambly raspberry, smashed cranberry, and pomegranate with delicate rose petal and potpourri scents that pull back to reveal dusty earth, sea spray and brine.
the palate is bright and racy with a laser beam of acidity. Great texture on the palate with fresh flavors of red cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry, and cranberry sauce, orange zest, flower petals, wild herbs, saline and earth. The juicy finish plays on and on.
Rock solid and a great QPR -
