2011 vintage - no oak, super classic, fresh and bright example of Barbera from a family that has been making this wine for generations.

Barbera d'asti - so much big fruit primary character it really is the antitheses of it's nebbiolo neighbors, or the rest of Italy's wines for that matter!
This one is a pleasure to drink on any occasion

Nose: black cherry, black tea, dried herbs, black licorice, cinnamon

Palate: all of the above + tomato paste and more mixed herbs.

Licorice, cherry. Hot at first and then smoother as it opens up. Went really well with some cheddar cheese crackers.

Mamma Mia! Great expression of barbera. Very pure, fruity, cherry but very gluggable with a nice smooth texture
