A mystic, deep wine. Black and blue fruit, freshness due to a healthy acidity. Mineral and more complex than most Barbera d'Alba wines.

A little Nebbiolo-like, some tar with the acids. Savory and jammy, stewed cherries, touch of graphite, touch alcohol-forward. Great with Spiritus pizza. From Main Street Wine and Gourmet, Orleans. 06/25/22

love!! stone fruit, pepper, agree w another reviewer on the toastiness, soft mouth feel but great acidity- packs a lot of punch into a medium body

Bottle three of this wine. First one was juicy and long. Second was rather oaky. Three was balanced and flavorful on the palate but showed some toasty modern notes on the nose. Interesting trio.

Weirdly, this bottle was way more oaky than the one we had last month. Good thing we have a third bottle in waiting.
