Description
"Although a new variety for the label, it's a familar friend for our winemaker, Matt Large, who has spent many vintages in Piedmont learning the art of Italian grapes from the likes of Luigi Oddero. Since taking up the post at The Other Wine Co., he's been hunting for local opportunites, and was thrilled to get his hands on this parcel of Barbera. Not your average tutti frutti Barbera here, in saying that fruit is optimal. Black Bing cherries, Acai and dried blueberries. Red toffee apple wrapped in black licorice. Allspice, nigella seed and dried Ancho chillis. Sage leaf, nettle and dried fig. Laden with dark, deep earthy spice, it's an aromatic wonder. Puffs of lifted acidity and fine powdery tannins. This has the friendly Barbera style but with so much alluring perfume. A great addition and at such a great price tag." - Notes from Other Wine Co.
