Dark, dirty ruby in color with a purplish rim.
Not much on the nose, with blueberries, earth, spices, peppercorn, leather and smoke.
Light bodied with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, red currants, plums, tart raspberries, earth, light vanilla, licorice, earth, spices and peppercorn.
Long finish with round tannins and tart cherries.
Simple and unbalanced, but a good quality Barbera. Too tart for my taste, though. Not one to be had by itself, but rather a good food wine.
I paired it with Spaghetti Bolognese.
13% alcohol by volume.

Very nice. Burst of tart cherries with a nice tarry finish. No real tannic bite, extremely soft. Refreshing.

Earthy nose, loose leaf tobacco, forest floor, and blackberry. Big, juicy almost slurpy. Mineral notes and spice bounce off dark berry fruit on the palate. Mid palate fruit is there, finish has a little heat and falls just short. Neat bottle. Excellent QPR. Drink now.
