Beautiful deep ruby color, rich nose of dark red plum, ripe black cherry, some raspberry and a bit of soft figs. Very vibrant with low tannin and angular acidity. Super-drinkable and your dinner's best friend, almost regardless of what you eat.

This is masculine Barbera D'Alba - I'm not a pro, but this bottle confirms heavier style from Alba vs Asti. Smoky Oak is well noticeable in nose and wine bitterness. Balanced fruitiness with earthy leafy, forrest bottom character. Not really tannic nor acidic - but well arranged together with dark fruits, so does not feel jammy, cheap and boring. Very good bottle. Cheers and enjoy the weekend.

Nice table wine, medium bodied though heavier than I expected, with lots of red fruit, good soft finish burst of acidity at the end

Smooth light almost flavourless wine - quite a disappointment from this region

Super delish. Ripe cherries and spice. Not overdone.
