Barbera
Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧

This Barbera shows a beautiful and brilliant ruby red color and nuances of ruby red, moderate transparency. The nose denotes intense, clean, pleasing and elegant aromas that start with pleasing aromas of black cherry, raspberry, blueberry, plum and violet followed by good aromas of licorice and vanilla as well as hints of pink pepper, hazelnut and peach jam. In the mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a slightly alcoholic and crisp attack however well balanced by tannins, good body and intense flavors. The finish is persistent with pleasing flavors of plum, black cherry and blueberry. A well made wine. This Barbera ages for 16 months in barrique followed by 4 months in bottle.
