Super ripe dark fruit, plums, strong chocolate notes, candied cherries and vanilla. I could have mistaken it for a new world shiraz. Silky tannins. A big, big wine from Giacomo Bologna. 16% alcohol. Barbera can be surprising.

What a surprise! The colour is absolutely impenetrable with beautiful purple edges. The nose is rich with ripe dark fruit, plums and cherries. On the palate, the dark fruit is joined by notes of cocoa and vanilla. Smooth tannins and long finish. Overall, tons of fruits notes. Didn't know barbera can get this good. And for 40 bucks, this is a steal.
