First Drop Moderno Barbera 2022

"From the shock of purple swirling around in the glass, you just know this is going to be a slurpy little number. It's all blueberry and cranberry fruit with citrus blossom top notes, Medina spices, dried citrus rind and dried herbal undertones. Supple and textured with a gypsum-dust tannin cloud, a twang of morello cherry at the backend and some nice sapid acidity getting the saliva glands working overtime. It makes for delicious, sprightly drinking."  Dave Brookes.  Halliday Wine Companion

"Very deep youtful red-purple colour with a slightly raw red and darker fruit aroma, meaty charcuterie overtones and the palate is medium bodied and soft textured, easy-drinking young, with mixed spice flavours that permeate the palate. Nicely turned out wine, enjoyable young and has some medium-term cellaring potential."  Huon Hooke.  The Real Review.
