Dark fruit and floral lift marry beautifully in this compelling Barbera-Nebbiolo blend. Cherry liqueur, violet pastilles and tobacco leaf build with impressive density. The marriage works. Barbera's generous fruit finds backbone from Nebbiolo's structured tannins. Polished and harmonious with excellent length.
