Product Description

Silver IWC and Bronze DWWA 2024 - Rose, violet and subtle herbal aromas, with generous cherry fruit with smoky complexity, licorice, and dried flowers on the palate. Very nice freshness. good and clean finish.

One of my go to Barbera's - very consistant and very good too. Aromas of ripe black cherry, damson and toasty spice. A rich palate with plum and sour cherry fruit, juicy acidity, and notes of dark chocolate on the finish

Grown from only 6hectares, with young and old vines, the wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barriques, of which 10-15% is new oak. Aromas of ripe black cherry, damson and toasty spice. A rich palate with plum and sour cherry fruit, juicy acidity, and notes of dark chocolate on the finish. This is a great insight in to how undervalued and underestimated Barbera can be. 

2020 vintage - This shows a spicy nose with aromas of ripe berries, dried citrus peel and hints of savory herbs. Medium-bodied with racy, slightly tart acidity and smooth, polished tannins. Juicy and savory. Drink now. 90pts. JamesSuckling.com (July 2024)

A Top 100 Wine and a Bronze medal Winner in the prestigious 2016 Decanter Awards. This is a good summer red wine as it oozes vibrant, cherry mouth-watering acidity which means it can be drunk slightly chilled. Its quite serious for its price and there'a alot going on for a sub £8 bottle. It is deeply coloured with a nose of intense ripe damson and black cherry, woodsmoke and brown spices. Ripe and generous on the palate, robust and full-flavoured with intense plum and cherry fruit, balanced by fresh acidity and a savoury tang.
