Description
Barbera is a variety typically characterised but it's peaky, vibrant acidity. In its home of Piedmont, these wines can be quite tight and nervy, however in this rendition, you can see Barbera dialled up on the ripeness scale.
Red-fruited, full, flavoured and juicy as all get out, this opulent expression of an Italian classic will keep you coming back for more with its lip-smacking acidity and smooth suede tannins.
It's a big-boned Barbera to be sure, but one that is the perfect gateway into the variety to those who enjoy the classic richness of South Australian reds.

"Oh my, what a colour – super dark purple with a red overlay – so enticing, as much as the aromas and flavours within. Red cherries, raspberries, a little wild strawberry and all spiced to the max. Attractive earthy, savoury notes come through and, while this is aged in used oak for 15 months, there are woodsy characters. The palate is plush, the tannins supple and light, while superfine acidity keeps everything in place."
