For me: good….a touch imbalanced though. Fruit was a bit pushy and dirty/cloudy on the attack. The acid was a little to energize for the weight/mouthfeel. Yes, these are characteristics of the grape/region, perhaps it could have used a year or two of rest and found better balance… Or maybe I should have pair a better meal with it ;) — 8 days ago

Love this producer. Great Friday/pizza/deck or whatever wine. Ripe northern Michigan cherries. Made it through another work week 😎 — 22 days ago

Best shape ever for a 2010 barbera in my recent experience. Rich and balanced. Paired with steak and presented perfectly. So happy. — 13 days ago

We have more bottles and expect this wine will benefit from more time in the bottle. All the same, this big-bodied, tannin forward barbera is a bold delight.

Also a *spectacular* pairing with charred eggplant. — 4 days ago

Patience and Protein.
Upon opening, this is a tannic beast. Decanted 1/2 hr or so. But... the sausage w Swiss chard and Marcella’s tomatoe sauce over polenta brought out its beauty.
N: Tar, underbrush, cola, roses, iron, dank minerality.
P: Really needs protein. Dark fruits, long,
Not rich but sappy, snappy finish. Pine forest, black cherry.

This was great with a steak. It’s definitely a bigger barbera but really nice with the food. Excellent tannin and dark fruits. Tasting great now. — 9 days ago

Maurillio Palladino and his family make marvelous wine in the traditional Piedmontese style. The ‘17 is a stellar effort that is drinking so well right now. — 13 days ago

Solid Italian red - super high punch at 15%, but still bringing a good red fruit flavor and sharp finish - good glass! — 13 days ago
