Dark, intriguing nose of black cherry with hints of earth, spice and tobacco leaf. After some coaxing, tinges of chocolate and a glorious herbaciousness emerge from the glass. The palate has a satisfying, mouth-watering tang that gives way to a surprising richness and layered flavour that evolves towards a seamless climax.  The texture here is really smooth and generous. This is a very, very serious wine and the best Barbera I've ever tried.  Not to be ignored.
