Organoleptic Analysis:this Barbera is vivid deep purple red in glass. This look is the first step towards the big quantity of smelling sensations which involve fresh fruity scents and are well mixed with the creamy features coming from the wood refining. On the palate this wine is really coherent with the elegance it has when smelling: first clear and rich to get to a full bodied development with a pleasant and vibrating acidity which lets a very good tasting persistence. It is a full bodied wine which gives its best after at least one year from the vintage.
