2 of 2 byob choices at French bistro. I love this Piedmontese producer. Dark cherry notes, generous layer upon layer as it opens up. Just well made wine. Went beautifully with my MR flat iron steak. Big on natural wine making practices (Steiner?) so always a plus for me.

Was drinking nice yesterday. Day 2 is just stupid! Plum and cherry seeds! Also taste like licking pumice and granite too. The balance between tannins and acid are just on point. I’m just lovin’ this right now!! Too bad I’m on the last glass!

Dark cherry in color and oh so fine. Lots of perfectly ripe black cherry with a touch of cinnamon and vanilla. Delicious

Not what I expected. I haven't had many barbera's. I didn't think it would be this deep in color with incredible blueberries flavors. Thanks to my bud @Todd Abrams for this recommendation. Fantastic😎

Tight tannins, medium acid, dark forest fruits. This could probably last a few years.
