This Barbera shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of ruby red,
little transparency. The nose denotes intense, clean, pleasing, refined and
elegant aromas which start with hints of cherry and black currant followed
by aromas of blueberry, vanilla, licorice, tobacco, chocolate, leather,
mace, eucalyptus and hints of black pepper. The mouth has good
correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack and pleasing crispness, however
balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors, agreeable. The finish is
persistent with flavors of cherry, black currant and plum. A well made
wine. This Barbera ages for 14-16 months in barrique followed by 6 months
of aging in bottle.
