Blend of 75 % Barbera, 15 % Nebbiolo, 10 % Cabernet Sauvignon. Black in colour, lots of new oak in the nose. Black fruit, unfortunately hidden behind a huge amount of oak-infused vanilla and bitter notes. Good acidity. Long, chocolaty finish. Needs time. Big question mark whether this wine will ever integrate its (over)dosis of wood. I can't see the WS 94 P. here. 88 P.

Anche Dio è di-vino
