This wine colors up a medium-dark cherry red. Cherry and raspberry aromas dominate the nose, with plenty of fruit that outlasts the savory aspect. The palate is also fruity, and the tannins are quite firm. There is a savory streak that runs through the palate, but it is not strong enough to wipe out the fruit.

Whoops…unfortunately this Piedmont Barbera opens up tannic and too tart with “bad nose”. I never say that about Italian wines.
