Pretty young but drinks a bit older. Leather and tobacco mixed with bright red cherries and finely chopped dried herbs. Medium body, medium tannins, medium finish. Dried fruit, tart cherry, and rhubarb. All around a really good drink!

For me this Barbera d’Alba from La Morra is superior. Had it with Marco and paired it with farro with Barbera and mushrooms and Gorgonzola (masterpiece)

Excellent sippable red full of wood and fruit but not too acidic or harsh. Great with asiago cheese. Highly recommend
