Tasting Notes: Bright ruby red with aromas of red fruit and spice. Outstanding marasca cherry with a spicy aftertaste of white pepper, dry and persistent. Smooth, almost imperceptible tannins.

The Domain: The Santa Barbara estate, owned by famed winemaker Stefano Antonucci, is in the small village of Barbara, about 25 miles due west of Marche’s capital and chief port, Ancona. When Stefano’s father needed a larger facility, the only suitable building available in Barbara was the old convent named Santa Barbara after an early Roman Christian martyr. That’s how the winery got its name; there’s no connection with California.
