Firm tannic structure with a slightly tart cherry tone, balanced with leather and robust currant.

Big, full bodied Barbera with plenty of flesh and ripeness. Juicy upfront with a surprising amount of acid that rips across the back. Sure maybe a little hot but totally enjoyable when the mood calls for an in your face wine. Primary with gobs of cherry pie filling, sweet wood, graphite, and cocoa powder notes. I think it would enjoy with some more air

Still very much alive and showing loads of floral elements, alongside the usual cherry scented aromas and flavors, complemented by subtle oak and a dash of developed character.
