Dark ruby in color with a purplish hue.
Very fruity on nose with red and black fruits, wood, earth, tobacco and chocolates.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with cooked cherries, blueberries, plums, tobacco leaf, light oak, milk chocolates and spices.
Spicy finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a nice and easy drinking Barbera from Piedmont. Fruit forward and tangy.
Good right out of the bottle, and good by itself or with food. The high alcohol is not noticeable at this point.

15% alcohol by volume.

This is good. Blue and black berries with some wet forest floor. Opened up nicely over a few hours. Good mouth feel.

Cedar bark, black cherry, forest berries and clay. Soft mouthfeel, creamy, red berries and licorice... transitions into bright acidity before tobacco and dark fruits on the finish. Solid length and complexity, bright fruit with rustic charm. Stainless ferment then 12 months in barrique. Food wine - paired with blackened, cedar smoked salmon.
