James Suckling 90pt

A spicy barbera that shows dried flowers, spiced cherries, cloves and some balsamic on the nose. Full-bodied and nicely creamy in texture, with high acidity.

by James Suckling, 2024
Wine Enthusiast 90pt

Aromas of concentrated black cherry, anise, pepper and candied violets lift from the glass of this lush Barbera. The palate coats the palate with sour plum, blackberry compote, hibiscus and allspice, finishing with bright acidity and super-fine tannins.

The aroma is intense and ample, with notes that remind one of rose pedals, blackberries and chocolate. The taste is full and equilibrated, slightly acidic and sapid, with a complex and persistent aftertaste that has delicate hints of toasted hazelnuts. Pleasantly bitter.
