A Barbera with real body, rounded off by time in terracotta.
On the nose: stewed red and black forest fruit, warm and rich soft spice, a little cocoa and a touch of earthiness.
In the mouth: baked forest fruit, a little red liquorice, some cocoa and a little earthiness, with light tannins. Beautifullyround, with big but soft flavours.
It just sits in your mouth being happy for ages.
Delicious, and dangerously addictive.
