Chocolaty and rich. Well structured, high altitude Barbera. Benefits from the diurnal swing, keeping the acids in check. A modern style done well.

Nice offering of Barbera from CA. Another good recommendation from folks at Wine Market. Paired nicely with manicotti.

Good Barbera. Medium bodied with a fruit forward nose. Enough tannins to notice them, opened up well.

Smooth and medium density wine, nicely balanced with a chewy walnut finish.
