Ripe fruit, dark bramble notes. Wonderful, would love to enjoy with a little more time in the bottle

Anise, plummy fruit, black pepper, and ample tannins & acidity. Good everyday red. 1 liter bottle.

Delicate red fruit, spicy, mineral delicate acidity. Smooth tannins. Modern approach. Grapes sourced from Monferrato estate to find an modern approach for Barbera in warm ideal conditions.

Multilayered and smooth. Perfect with fresh pasta and/or pizza.

A little tart for my liking. Probably should have given it a few years to age gracefully

Nice mellow drinking wine. Held up to robust food okay-eh. IMHO. If I get this wine again it will be to drink and socialize, not pair with food.
