Better than it was just a few months ago. Still a bit primal, especially on the nose.

In its prime. Perfect balance of cherry berry and some tannins to finish it off…light enough for a quick quaff, but enough body for osso buco

Beautiful from the first sip; rich complex layers; a party in my mouth then to my body and soul

A beautiful Barbera from one of my favorite producers. Frederico will tell you that his father only let him apprentice on Barbera before graduating to the Nebbiolo vines and as such, his Barbera "Superiore" holds a special place in his heart. I can taste why. A beautiful balance of red fruit and acidity. Also an age worthy Barbera.
