Much stronger version than the previous versions (6%), this one clocks in at 11.2%.
Blend of 1,2,3 years old lambic with Barbera grapes from Piëmonte in Italy. The blend is a collaboration with our friends from La Carlina Winery near Alba. This blend had no second fermentation in the bottle.

30 January 2026. GBV Lucky Ass Tasting (@ Baracuna). Cheers to the whole crew!
Clear dark burgundy red, no head. Aroma of fresh red grape, blackcurrant, brambleberry, leather, cherry. Taste has sour blackcurrant, red grape, some vanilla in an almondy, jam-like malt body. Tart finish of pure grape skins and red wine. Medium body, slick texture, flat carbonation. As vinous as a Lambic can get, I presume. Excellent.
