Cherry nose, background florals. Medium body, tart finish. Blackberry, wood, some acid. Nicely layered.

Drank in August 2021. At 6 years old, excellent depth, deep ruby color and a finish that lingers well. Pared well with pasta and red meat. Nice nose and overall a very good Barbera.

2013 was fruity and light - higher acidity so great for cheese boards!

Easy to drink though lacks depth. No need to seek out again though it doesn’t mean we didn’t drink it all...

Good fruit (raspberry, blueberry), some earth. Pleasant tannins. Light finish but good fruit throughout. Great for the low price. Drank with Gyros Palace chicken gyros.
