Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✭

Barbera Reserve shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of garnet red, moderate transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas that start with hints of cherry, raspberry and blueberry followed by aromas of violet, vanilla, tobacco, cocoa and menthol. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a slightly tannic attack and however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors, pleasing roundness. The finish is persistent with flavors of cherry, blueberry and raspberry. Barbera Reserve ages for 15 months in cask followed by 4 months of aging in bottle.
