Deep dark appearance from this 100% Barbera, still very fresh and vibrant after 10 years. Lots of dark berries, cherries with also some licorice and tobacco flavours. Very good price-quality for this Ca’ Viola Barbera Bric du Luv from 70 year old vines. — 4 years ago

My 2nd or 3rd tasting, & my love grows: think the fuller, rounder body of Muscadet aged on its lees, & then enter this field blend of Avesso, Arinto, Alvarinho, and Malvasia. So not the green, spritzy Vinho verde of one’s youth. All kinds of white flowers & fruits, w emphasis on the former. Still quite delicate in the mouth but voluminous at same time. Soares importer, who doesn’t mess around. — 2 years ago
Straight fire. It’s been a few years since I have had this and once again this doesn’t disappoint. Real Italian river rock acidity with elegant cherries and red fruit. Lots of the acidity on this. Some definite natural figs after it sat for a bit. Highly highly recommended especially for the price point. — 5 years ago
