The nose reveals a savory, herbal and floral character, with sour red fruits becoming more prominent as the wine opens. Herbaceous and tart on the palate with bright and crunchy acidity on the finish.

Energetic and lively aromas of sour cherry lift from the glass and quickly give way to fresh rose and wild herbs. The palate is soft and round with ample fruit driven by red-berried fruits in both fresh and jam form. Hints of black tea and thyme in the background. It's all wrapped up with classic Barbera acidity, keeping it fresh with each sip.

Bright ruby-red; aromas of black plum, blackberries and purple iris. Medium-full with notable depth of fruit. Beautiful ripeness, very good acidity, subtle wood notes, very good persistence. This has a nicely defined mid-palate and excellent varietal character. Enjoyable now, but better in a year or two, peak in 5-7 years.
