Tasting notes
Deep ruby in the glass, this wine opens with aromas of ripe black cherry, plum, and violet, layered with hints of spice, cocoa, and subtle earth. The palate is vibrant and juicy, showing Barbera’s lively acidity balanced by supple tannins and a medium-bodied, polished texture. Flavors of dark berry fruit, red currant, and a touch of black pepper unfold into a long, fresh finish with notes of herbs and mineral tension. A выразive and elegant wine with both richness and energy.
