Excellent! Smooth, not too dry and not sweet. Easy drinking and can be drank alone. May not stand up to bold food flavours.

This a a great example of Barbera. Medium bodied, good berry flavour with decent tannins. Maybe a bit young making it a wee bit acidic, but laying this down for a couple more years should help. Had the 2010 last year and it was excellent. Has become one of my "go to's".
