Previous vintages of this wine have had 15% Pinot Noir but this is 100% Barbera. Again, made to be had with food. Low tannins high acid. Juicy. Sweetish palate. No noticeable oak influence.

Deep dark appearance from this 100% Barbera, still very fresh and vibrant after 10 years. Lots of dark berries, cherries with also some licorice and tobacco flavours. Very good price-quality for this Ca’ Viola Barbera Bric du Luv from 70 year old vines.
