  Nose is not strong; earthy red fruit. Entry is a tart fruit with a fair weight to it. Very juicy towards the finish. A bit of spice to the finish. This is really at the very tail end of its life. Tannins very light, but still a touch of acidity keeping it going. A straightforward pizza wine at this point. Should be finished in the next year.

  This has what I have come to recognize as quite a typical Barbera nose. A dark, toasty liquorice and jammy fruit. Entry is consistent with a lot of black liquorice. A very rounded and full profile finishing tart and spicy with a touch of tannin but more acidity. This is quite well done and classic tart finish driven Barbera.

  Solid little Barbera that we enjoyed over two nights. Full bright nose of earthy red cherry. Palate is bright and juicy with good concentration and polish yet a rustic grip. Good on its own, but better with food.

  En riktigt bra Barbera med mogen söt röd frukt, silkiga tanniner och lite toner av fat. Väldigt prisvärt.

  Medium red; pepper, licorice, raspberry; very nice smooth attack with alluring fruit, slightly closed, but still lots of good fruit and magnificient long aftertaste; not that complex but very nice and agreeable
