A powerful, refined nose unfolds with tobacco, violet, and milk caramel, inviting close attention. On the palate it turns velvety—liquorice and Morello cherry weave together, leading to a lingering, bittersweet chocolate finish. The Grenache grapes, sourced from old vines planted on the high Quaternary alluvial terraces that frame the estate, draw character from famed pebble-strewn quartzite and clay soils, lending the Cuvée Barberini pronounced tannic structure and aromatic intensity. A composed blend of 45% Grenache noir, 45% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre, it balances power with elegance and length.
