This has all the playfulness and bright, snappy acidity we love from barbera, with high-tone red and purple fruit leading and elevating the wine. Cherry and plum at the fore, with a bit of leather and spice rounding out the aromatic profile. Juicy and jubey, fresh and energetic. Completely unfussy and easy-going mid-week red. If ever there was a wine to pair with takeaway pizza, this is it.
