Singing tonight. Fruit & touch of oak so clear and pretty. Friends who knew nothing about either wine were wowed by this one. Sans soufre was the way to go tonight!

This wine…*this* wine has been a shape-shifting friend to seven courses, taking in diverse flavors so well.

Beautiful with our grilled pizza. I love Barbera and this was a easy drinking bottle especially with pizza.

Barbera, sans soufre, hitting its stride sooner than the batch with sulfur, methinks.
