Barbera (2024)

This wine leaps from the glass with concentrated cherry, strawberry, raspberry, and ripe red plum. The aromatics offer a playful nod to PEZ candy, layered with whispers of vanilla, chocolate syrup, and warm baking spices, while faint floral notes of elderflower and peony lend lift and elegance. On the palate, a zingy, energetic entry unfolds into a generous medley of red fruits, framed by toasty oak and a subtle hint of cedar. The balance is seamless, lively yet composed, carrying through to a long, satisfying finish.
