Right in the middle of the Barbera spectrum. Not pale and red fruited, nor dark, oaky and purple. Typical soft tannins, high acid. All the concentration, purity and finesse Brovia is known for in a more affordable package than their Barolos.

Still tight. Has some years to go before it mellows nicely. High acid. Enjoyed it with a fennel sausage and crimini mushroom pizza.
