Rich and voluptuous, with dark cherry and plum driving the core. Aromatic complexity emerges through mint, leather and warm spice. The blend achieves impressive harmony. Barbera's generous fruit balanced by Nebbiolo's structural backbone and lift. Firm tannins suggest patience will be rewarded. Cellar 3-5 years.
