WineSaint
Brovia's generous dark fruit expression gets derailed by intrusive green, herbaceous notes that dominate the mid-palate. Plum and cherry show underneath, supported by Barbera's characteristic bright acidity, but the vegetal character overwhelms the wine's natural charm. Ready to drink now, though the green notes seem unlikely to resolve with age.
