Lively ruby purple, with an enticing bouquet, boasting sweet morello cherry and a suggestion of dusted cinnamon. This is benchmark Barbera, it doesn't ask questions of the drinker, but says hello I know you'll get along with me just fine. Crushed violets, a sweet covering of oak, well integrated tannins and refreshing acidity. Drinking well now, so don't delay as I don't feel this will evolve further to any great benefit to the inquistitive hedonist.As far as Barbera d'Asti goes, this delivers the goods.This wine is is a very fine ambassador forthe varietal.So in context well worth a score of 90.

90-91. Decent value for $25, but it left me wanting more. A good bottle, just not a great one.
