WineSaint
Dense, jammy fruit dominates with heavy-handed oak treatment that masks Barbera's natural brightness. Chocolate and espresso notes feel forced rather than integrated, creating a disjointed impression that lacks typical Pelissero finesse. The structure feels unbalanced, weighed down by extraction. Six to twelve months may help, but the fundamental issues run deeper.
