2005. Lush nose of dark cherries. Palate is concentrated sour cherry & orange peel. Racy acidity! Bottle signed by @DamonteRoberto

Off the charts. Complex, aged Barbera. One of the best I've had.

What a steal!
Lovely nose, spice off the top leading to a nice long barnyard finish. Full bodied... delicious.
Highly recommend (had the 08),
