There's not enough O's in smooth to describe this wine. This is a modern version of Barbera. The purity of the fruit and refined style lend it to being a crowd pleaser. Certified organic, vegan-friendly and no added SO2. It's purple in color, the aromas and tastes are blueberry and dark plum, with a slight roasted coffee note. It's ultra smooth, with no overt oak. What you smell and taste is a clear expression of the grape variety and place of the vineyard, not an over-manipulation by the winemaker. It's great from the moment it's opened. but it'll hold up into day two. Drink it with most anything from the grill or hearty northern Italian dishes, ideal with pizza. Total production 800 cases. Drink now through 2022.
