Was very good. Limited experience with Barbera, but what I would expect, i.e. fairly light, fresh, a lot of lift, fruit in the mid red spectrum, really nice strawberry in the lead. Not juicy or at all at risk at coming across as a fruit bomb though. In all very enjoyable and appealing change of pace. Excellent value.

Almost five years since the first and last bottle I had, this has clearly evolved. Not as creamy, fruity and charming, this has more secondary notes of meat, iron, wood and salty licorice now, but the cherry is still there of course. Alice, savoury rendition of traditional Barbera but maybe not as good to my taste as my memory from 2017.
