Dirty earth - in a good way! Stewed strawberries, a little leather. Very cool that this is current release

Dirty earth and leather. Big. Maybe too big. Not much Barbera, but I kind of like it anyway? Not the oak/fruit bomb I feared though

Really interesting modern style Italian wine. Definitely let it breathe for a bit. Can smell the earthiness on the nose. A very nice wine with food. Great recommendation from our server.
