Arisa's birthday dinner at the Factory Kitchen. Really a special, easy drinking, rich and sumptuous barbera with delicious red fruit and low acidity. Couldn't imagine a better wine to take to a nice Italian restaurant where you are going to have a variety of different foods.

Amazing barbera! Dense dark cherrie fruit, integrated oak, secondary tones of pipe tobacco. Long finish.

Kelly and Kevin’s excellent adventure before WWS 2012; 11/4/2012-11/11/2012 (La Morra): Big wine with 16% alcohol that is still balanced relatively speaking. Blackberry liquor, spice and earth. Chewy palate with good acidity. Big scale, big frame wine.
