Tre Donne, d'Arc
(DARK)

 

Tasting Notes: From the famous “Three Sisters,” Tre Donne has done it again, with this breath-taking blend of Barbera, Pinot Noir, Dolcetto, and the rare, highly aromatic grape, Freisa (which is most often found as a sparkler). Here the Barbera is aged in French oak barriques, the Pinot Noir in Slavonian barrels, while the Dolcetto and Freisa are unoaked, lively, and fresh. Wow! Named for the sisters life-time inspirtion, Joan of Arc, d’Arc is a powerful, yet elegant wine with rich, moody fruit, bracing purity, and fascinating depth.
