  March 30, 2021 - I didn't find the complexity the others here did... But it's tasty, a very big wine (like a Zinfandel from Ridge) and has fair balance. At $28 it was a good QPR. I'd hold it a little longer as it has plenty of fruit and the tannins are not fully tamed.

  January 5, 2019 - dark ruby colour with cherry rim. not clear. nose: ripe cherries, lavender; sweet and tart aromas plus some cherry Stones. rather soft with some alco notes. taste: high acidity; fruity - veery ripe cherries, crisp black cherries, currrants; medium volume of tannins - but still young. Good body. long finish, Excellent fleshy Barbera with personality and power not lacking elengance,.

  January 1, 2019 - 2018 Visit to Elvio Cogno with Valter Fissore (Ravera, Novello): Deep, opaque colour. On bouquet, kirsch, new leather, cherries under spirit and milk chocolate with a lick of vanillin oak. In the mouth, bright and vibrant fruit. Good acidity. Packed with ripe fruit. Blackberries and dark cherries but also with notes of mushroom and truffle. Juicy with hints of blood orange. Seamless, well integrated tannins. Another wine sample I enjoyed.
