Sorry Delectable - this is the Dolcetto, not the Barbera. Dolcetto - an under-rated light to medium weight Italian Red grape. Lovely nose. Light red plum flesh and skins. Fine dry chalky tannins - perfect with Lasagna - a well known producer. See previous Delectable notes.

Joyful, intense red and black fruits with a hint of oregano . Succulent and fresh. A subtle pepper finish. Excellent pairing with crafted artesian pizza.

Black cherry nose... On the palate, it's more cherry, graphite, dried fruit, leather. Great concentration and a long finish. Very nice.
