Yeah, strange blend but I’m always drawn to trying these things and Barbera is one of my absolute favorites. It’s a meaty one, very earthy, and has that mushroom thing going on if it’s your thing, would be heavier than you’d expect from a barbera. The Cab Franc gives a little bit of spiceDon't think it was in Rioja Alta price range, Mangey_y. Got it on Decantalo if memory serves me. Grand for a Paella. C'mere Barbera and Cabernet Franc is a slightly strange blend. Nice?
Lovely bottle of wine, has aged really well
