Wonderful depth. Almost black in color. Great integration of tannin/acid.

I'm a big fan of Barbera and I like Vietti normally so I was excited for this. Unfortunately it didn't live up to the price tag. There were signs it might be better in a few more years but I don't think I'll reinvest. Too modern.

Starts off pretty bold and after an hour starts to chill. Pretty wine for such a baby.

One of the greatest Barbera sites of all. So dense and dark. Overly complex, oak is evident. Will live 10+ years, yum!
