Clear, pale ruby in color. On the nose, it has medium intensity primary and secondary aromas of hibiscus, cloves, and raspberries. On the palate, it's dry with high acidity, medium tannins, medium alcohol, medium body, and medium intensity flavors of tart cherries, lavender, and dried herbs with a long finish. This wine is complex with balanced fruit, acidity, and tannins. Overall, I rate this wine as very good.

Medium ruby in color; cherries, raspberries, and dried herbs on the nose; high acidity; medium tannins; tastes like hibiscus, sour cherries, crushed gravel, and a hint of black pepper with a long finish. I think it would pair well with pizza. I like this wine. Nellie doesn't.

Barberas like this are a favorite…nice find but don’t know where bought. Darn! Has all the smoothness balance medium+body dark berry flavor taste tannins acidity in sync for the top tier of the class. 2019, will drink again…if can find.

Had a glass with dinner at Emilia. I’m new to Italian wines but I enjoyed this one.
