Lean, vibrant, floral, with a nice earthy finish. A great Barbera from a great producer.

Bright, crunchy, cheerful.
Fresh sweet cherries, with a hint of undergrowth, tree bark, herbs. Airy & bright and very inviting.
On the palate this is light, with bright, fresh cherries, a bit of cranberry tartness, juicy acidity and a nice, if light, tannic frame. Highly drinkable & v. joyful.

Bright & vibrant with great juicy acidity, pure fruit and sense of place. Salty tang towards the finish adds complexity. This is zipping with joy and highly drinkable.

Nose is initially dominated by barnyard notes. After it had some time to breathe, the dark fruit pushed through and it became quite pleasant.
