Beautiful opaque ruby color, almost inky. Hints of rose petals and licorice on the nose. Layers of kirsch and black raspberries on the palate. Balanced tannins and a bit of alcohol comes through on the finish. A bold and beautiful wine.

Very nice Barbera with great spice and a medium body. Needs a little more in the nose, but mouthfeel is pleasing.
