Dark garnet, nose of black fruit and some oak. A touch fruit forward, blackberries & black plum, with earthiness and strong tannins and clear acidity. Really drys out quickly in the mouth and a slight burn down the throat. Needs stronger spiced foods to balance.

Mörk choklad, björnbär, saftiga mörkröda körsbär, röd ceder, och en hint av tjärpastiller. Silkigt och fint med 6 år på rygg men ändå bra tryck i frukten. Väldigt prisvärt, och gott.

Bright berry, strong backbone. Not Braida, but a very good Barbera. Spinetta just cannot make a bad wine :-)

Deep rich color with excellent clarity. Thick long lasting legs. Nose rich with fruit and oak. Big flavors, tart berry, oak and cassis. Slightly tannic finish.
