  Rich ruby in color. Nose has effusive floral aromatics and also offers vanilla, minerals and raspberry jam. Medium bodied palate is full of juicy red fruits. Fresh and vibrant with plenty of acid. Modest spice and mineral notes offer some complexity. Simple finish. Good match with pizza. (4+12+16+6=87).

  Between traditional and modern Barbera.
  Medium to full bodied with lots of black fruit (berry), hint of vanilla and mushrooms.
  The nose is also very nice with those black fruits emerging and this mix of vanilla/mushrooms.
