Barbera with blue and red fruit aromas with spice notes. On the palate blueberry and tart raspberry flavors with espresso and cacao notes. Aged for 6 months on oak the wine has savory tannins and good balance ending about medium. Drink now while it's fresh.

Dark ruby with aromas of black/red fruits. The palate shows a raspberries and black cherry flavors with a hints of leathery spice. The wine is medium bodied, balanced tannins and simple, finishes easy without complexity.
