2 people found it helpfulJan 14th, 2015Absolutely fantastic Barbera D’Alba. Very aromatic, totally indicative of Alba, so much expression of land and place. Monforte. $28 at B21. Drinkable now but has huge potential for age-ability, 6-10 years in cellar. One of the best Barbera’s I’ve tasted in a long time.!

Feb 23rd, 2024Dark red color with a nice dark berry nose and a big complex body with a somewhat complex body and a long aftertaste. This is a modern Barbers that would compete with the Barbaresco’s & Barolo’s, but with much less need for aging & much less cost, but with less complexity.
