Pio is on 🔥. Frederica has injected youth into this storied cantina, and has it firing on all cylinders. This was a voluptuous Barbera, bright red/purple hue, incredible mouthfeel. Great balance. I'd buy by the case at current pricing.

Cherry and raspberry overlaying smoky minerals with hints of barnyard aromas.
