100% Barbera. Deep ruby with purple highlights. Intriguing aromas of red cherry, violets, lilac, wintergreen, sour cherry, bramble, applewood smoke, leather, char, and earthy. Continuing to the palate, flavors of plum Thai basil, thyme, white pepper, baking spice, pomegranate seeds, balsamic, dried fig, and tomato leaf. This is a dry wine with medium plus acidity. Tons of structure and balance between the grippy tannins and the flavor complexity. It does require a little bit of decanting to show its full potential. Overall a geeky wine.
Food Pairing: Pasta, lasagna, eggplant parmesan, grilled smoky lamb chops, port loin, mushroom risotto, aged cheese, Parmigiano-Reggiano or pecorino.
