Pretty serious Barbera with dark fruit, leather, earth and liquorice root. Distinctly Italian. Medium to high acid levels but backed by some ripe tannin.

Not as acidic as Barbera can be, but it's a good thing. Elegant, fruit with some spice, and a touch round.

Warm vintage, a bit modern (Barrique) but quite enjoyable as it nears its 14th birthday.

Good with air but tight and honestly a touch riper and less acid than I like from the Barbera grape, a little disappointed.
