Very nice game spice aromatics and smooth in the mouth, just a hint of oak.

Refined Superiore! Big big flavor deep red berry Barbera D’ Asti. From Marchesi Incisa della Rocchetta, impressive...15.5% Alcohol but a full palate and big berry overcomes it! 2016 complex vino... drink again...

Read that barbera is a good summer red because it can/should be drunk chilled. Certainly works well for this one.

Licorice and red berries on the nose. Light mouthfeel. Black pepper. Strawberries. Tannic finish.
