Barbarossa

Marcobarba

Almost effervescent when first popped, the Barbarossa is an easy drinking gusher of a red. At room temperature it shows dried cherry and blackberry with nuancing notes of leather, tobacco, licorice, and an earthy minerality. Chilled, the wine can take on a refreshing and nattier profile, cranberry fruited with beetroot and birchy funk dancing on velvety tannins.
