Nose of acid mixed with strawberry and earth mixed with a touch of smokiness. A has a sour cherry core but not like Royal Crown Regal cherry candy. The finish is rather light and I would assume this wine fares better with food that is roasted or had a bit of fat to cut the acid. This is my first bottle of this producers Barbera.

Plums! Beets! …blood? Sweet dark fruit, spice, and structure under $30 — what else do you need to know? Tasty on its own, and probably stellar with hearty pastas or braised meat. Good now, good whenever you want to open it.

Don’t touch this for at least a year. It’s very nervy and that combined with the perceptible 14.5abv it’s too intense and not yet very enjoyable. The ducks are in a row though and once it settles should be very good.

Strawberry and red fruit on the nose. Oak and tar on the palate. Plum finish.
Medium bodied. Mild acidity and mild to low tannins. Could have waited another year, as it was still a bit aggressive.
Upon opening up, slight earthy notes on the finish with more muted plum.

Piemonte: Truffles instead of Turkey; 11/23/2023-12/2/2023 (Barolo, Barbaresco, Alto Piemonte and of course Alba): Very bright and fruity and yet again there is more balance and classic styling. It’s not always my favorite grape but I appreciated this.
