Dark fruit, dense, concetrated. Really shows how serious Barbera can be. Immensly pleasurable.

Nice tasty splash of black licorice. Not overwhelming. Beautiful wine.

Soil licorice, tar , tobacco. A wonderful nose.
The palate is crunchy, black fruited and rich, good tannins and an ample finish.
Delicious wine. There is, according to Cogno,
Only 0.25 hectare of this Barbera.
The label (rear) is confusing as to wether this is in fact pre-phylloxera or grafted. Anyone know?

Sharp at first, but after airing its all tar and soil on the nose, very dark and bright ( an oxymoron) with great tension and acid.
