Really good form. Harmonious and still quite rustic.

#barberadalba #barbera #piemonte delicious. Today it reminded me of Merlot flavor and aroma characteristics. Lots of tiny ripe red plums and hints of cigar box and tobacco and leather. Great riper vintage for this Barbera

One of the best 2014 Barberas I have had! Dense and concentrated yet refreshing... this producer is a guarantee even in hard vintages!

Best Barbera in a long while. Glorious ripe cherry coming at a price, 15% abv but remarkably integrated. Wow.
