A typical Barbera aroma profile gets things started here, with cherry and a little charred oak front and center, and a dash of dried herbs. All translate well into palate flavors and linger pleasantly. I am also a fan of the light-weight bottle from a sustainability perspective — we need more of this line of thinking internationally.
