Great balance between ripeness, structure and funkiness. Will buy again.

Begins with a semi-big flavor but quickly calms down to just easy deliciousness

Medium purple in color; blackberries, cherries, and dried herbs on the nose; high acidity; high tannins; tastes like tart cherries, blackberry syrup, slate, and a hint of black pepper with a long fruity finish. Nellie doesn't like it. She says it's too tart. I love it.

One of the better Barbera D’ Asti’s…2019 vintage, young but refined…medium full bodied dry dark fruit evident smooth palate excellent balance tannins and low acidity . Great everyday wine at even greater price…

It’s a cherry bomb. Served it with Bobby Flay’s pork chops with yellow pepper mole
