Sporting generous, ripe and evolved flavors, centered around dried figs, cherry compote and toasty oak. Lofty alcohol dominate the powerful finish.

Very much kicking. Great acidity. Perfect example of Barbera. Cedar wood and cola on the nose. Plush blackberry with fresh acidity on the palate. Pop if you have it.
