From an excellent producer, this is a Barbera that can be drunk now or aged for a couple of years. The twelve months the wine spent ageing in oak barrels has added complexity to the typical qualities of the grape. The nose shows intense cherry aromas and hints of vanilla, which follow through to the crisp, yet smooth palate.

"Cherry, tea and hints of rose come together in a wine full of flavour with hints of salty liquorice. It's a pleasing labyrinth of textures, flavours and sensations bound up in a well-balanced, firm structure. Good wine."
