Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧✧

The wine shows a beautiful and intense ruby red color and nuances of ruby red, little transparency. The nose reveals personality with intense, clean, pleasing, refined and elegant aromas which start with good hints of black cherry, plum and violet followed by good and intense aromas of blueberry, blackberry, tobacco, toasted wood, vanilla, licorice, eucalyptus as well as good hints of cocoa, black pepper and nutmeg. In the mouth has excellent correspondence to the nose, a slightly tannic attack and pleasing crispness, however well balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors, good tannins. The finish is very persistent with long flavors of plum, black cherry, blueberry and blackberry. A great wine. This Barbera ages for 18-20 months in cask.
