Fattoria dei Barbi 2021 – Toscana

(Without added sulphites) The nose is fruity and offers a fine intensity and purity of fruit. There are notes of bright cherry, bright redcurrant and slightly blackcurrant combined with a hint of violet, spice and a subtle almost herbal edge. The palate is fruity, balanced, discreetly tight and offers freshness, juiciness, acidity, tension and a lovely burst of fruit. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fresh/juicy cherry, redcurrant and more slightly violet combined with hints of fresh/sparkling berries and a hint of sense of place and a subtle almost earthy edge. The tannins are supple. Good length. A very discreet, almost iodine-like edge to the finish.
