Dinner at the producer’s restaurant Buon Padre in Vergne, just west of Barolo; the wine is deep blueish-purple in color and with viscous leggy texture (dry, 14% alc.); blue and dark tart fruits and country spices on the nose; medium acids and dry small tannins on the palate with a fruity sinple and robust character, without oak. Seems very well made.

Drank 7/5/19.
Overripe cherry and leather scents, yield to ripe red cherry, earth, and leather flavors. This feels a touch hot (14.5% alcohol) and ripe. Medium plus tannins back lingering, ripe, red cherry fruit on the finish.
2/22/6/3/4 + 50 = 87 pts.
Purchased at Costco for around $13. Not bad, but go with the Renato Ratti bottling for around $2 more.

Hay, woodsmoke, blackberry. Fairly heavy with an excellent, dry mouthfeel. This barbera doesn't pull punches.

Fruit forward, peachy, and peppery. Great color. Bold but subtle.

This is a great value wine. Very good Barbera D’Alba at a decent price. Robust, full of flavors and great with pasta with pork sausage. Pleasant and wonderful mix.

Berry notes, light tannins. Very enjoyable on it's own.
