The 2022 Barbera d'Alba is a fabulous wine that marries Barbera fruit richness with a Nebbiolo-like sense of structure. Aging is done entirely in cement. Ripe cherry, plum, lavender, rose petal and blood orange are front and center in this juicy, inviting Barbera. $23.00 (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, January 2024) — 10 months ago

Very nice, elegant and lush…exceptional Barbera! Deep dark big flavor balanced almost full-bodied Barbera d’ Alba Superiore. Rich berry berry, flavorful, managed tannins, smooth palate…drink again. — 3 years ago

Deep purple in color; raspberries, cherries and a hint of something floral on the nose; medium acidity; smooth tannins; tastes like wet slate, pomegranate, and strawberry with a long refreshing finish. Really good. This is my first Barbera d' Asti. — 2 years ago

Yep, all of that…vintage 2019, beyond nice Barbera D’ Asti…among the best of the offerings from notable Italian - Piedmont - producer…Marchesi Della Rocchetta, probably a measly few hundred years history as are many Italian producers. Previously rated highly, virtually unchanged from vintage to vintage, an excellent everyday vino for the Everyday Club. Balance, balance, full-flavor… — 3 years ago
