What do the experts say?

“

Raffaele Vecchione: Delicate and persuasive, it displays a multifaceted sensory profile of mixed red flowers, mandarin peel, lavender, karkadè, wild thyme, peonies, jasmine, guarana and pomegranate. A subtle presence of hawthorn dominates the secondary scene. Medium body, perfectly ripe tannins of a velvety nature and an iconic finish for gracefulness and relaxation. The Barbera is grown on 3 plots in two municipalities: Verduno and Roddi. One of the best Barberas ever tasted. Drink now or age.
