Notes from Ristorante Consorzio in Torino.

"Nose bursting with flowers and fruit, complexity, movement, energy. Vibrant and inky purple color. Warming and lively. Tobacco, dried fields, flowers. Powerful and elegant. Like meeting an old friend for the first time in years. The underrated Barbera grape is a variety capable of producing wines of profound complexity and serious longevity, if cultivated from old vines in top sites and vinified to allow graceful evolution in bottle.

With this in mind, the family farms all of their vines organically and are extremely meticulous with their viticulture. Ezio Trinchero is a close friend of Giampiero Bea of Paolo Bea in Montefalco, and the wines of both estates share a similar style and rustic soulfulness."
