Maraschino cherries. Full body. Great balance. 15% alc. balances the Barbera acidity. Hot finish.

Succulent, deep, pure, and full of character. Nose is high-toned and alluring with it’s balanced combo of fruit and savory elements. Ripe black cherry, crushed wild raspberry, violets, graphite, tar, wet leather, turned earth, truffle and animal. Palate is juicy, black cherry, pomegranate, and raspberry, almost liquor-like. Graphite, minerals, fresh meat, alpine herbs, tar, kiss of iron. Classic Barbera structure, acid driven and supportive yet fine tannin. So soulful, a humbling reminder of the potential Barbera has in the right hands.

Unfortunately, this bottle was flawed. Way too much nail polish to be able to drink.
