Sommelier:

This Barbera is very interesting, it stands out from the usual angular wines of the typology. To the intense dark red glass, almost black. After an hour, a large olfactory picture is released, lots of ripe red fruit, plum, berries, raisins, a decidedly vinous imprint. They enrich a marked spiciness, notes of leather and undergrowth, animal and wild hints, as well as blood / ferrous. On the palate it is warm, dry, round, balanced in its soft and tannic components.
