Same tasting notes as before, but this time paired with cacio e pepe - brilliant combination. The wine opens beautifully in the glass; I nursed it solo for over four hours and it just kept giving.
Pretty much the same tasting notes. It holds up - a Barbera that doesn't lean on power or oak, but instead plays a more delicate hand. There's a floral lift that gives it charm, and while it's juicy and easygoing, it's also surprisingly layered. Not just fruit - there's a subtle complexity that reveals itself quietly. Paired with grilled turkey and the calm of nature, it all just clicked.
Oof, what a perfumed nose. Cherry, violets, briar - beautiful Barbera showing off. Very juicy with serious structure and racing acidity. A bit strict right now, like it's holding something back. Beautiful stuff though. Drinks well today but give it a year or two and it'll start singing. Classic case of Barbera being underestimated while quietly outperforming half the wines twice its price.
