Dark ruby color with mixed cherry, pomegranate, dried rose and earthy aromas On the palate between light and medium bodied with a harmonious character - ample fruit nicely balanced with vibrant acidity and velvety tannins with sour cherry, pomegranate flavors with an appealing bit of minerality and a giving finish.

Good easy drinking wine that’s good with food like pasta or fish when you don’t want a white. Highly acidic, fruit forward and light.

Hade jag sett ett rödvin med en tomtejävel på etiketten så hade jag ratat den direkt. Men det här var en snyggt fyllig, söt och baktung barbera. Glad att jag hade fel. Kalas till wallenbergare. Dracks på Kometen, gbg.

Definitely needs some air but otherwise quite decent Barbera with nice red fruit and dusty tannins. Good food wine and good value for the Bahamas ($25 on sale).
