Expressive nose of sweet and sour cherries, blue berries, incense, and dried flower. Round and bright palate with medium to high acidity and soft bittersweet tannins. From a tiny 2/3 of a hectare family holding of the Santo Stefano di Perno vineyard, aged for 18 months in used Slovakia oak barrel, this Barbera shows exceptional freshness and purity of the fruits at this young age, but also has depth and structure to age further. — 8 years ago
Slight earthiness with mellow tannins. — 9 years ago
Intensely aromatic. Black tea, rose petals, red cherry and tar. Every component feels accentuated but in a very balanced way. Lots of fruit, good amount of acid, solid tannic grip and long finish. — 11 years ago

Tasted October 2013
Exceptional winexperience!) Freshness, delicacy, persistence, balance and performace - all in one to form Lalùci!
Garment of light gold with tiny green hues.
Fantastic bouquet of summer flowers with sage and thyme hints organically turns to peach, lime, apple and even melon, with touch of minerality.
Palate shows intense and refreshing yet very pleasant acidity; aromas of lemon, pear, capers slowly evolves to citrus and minarality on the finish.
Perfect pairing to grilled amberjack (ricciola) and pasta marinara.

Pretty darn good. Dried fruit, raisin like but extremely smooth. — 7 years ago
Delicious! Nose was full and fruity. Blueberry pie, cassis, dark fruits and some floral notes. Tastes delicious. Some tannins that softened over the course of the bottle. Would be nice decanted. — 8 years ago
Some residual sugar; a little spritzy. Unusual flavor - grapefruit section dividers, sort of resinous notes but clean palate. — 8 years ago
