Fantastic every day drinker. Great with pork or lamb. Good spice and fruit. Lush tannins. I’d buy this by the case.

Smooth fruit in beginning with a mild smoky finish. Good with a hearty meal

A real Barbera with high acidity. Authentic perfume, supple and velvety texture, pure class. Might be too light and acidic for some, but there is a solid base structure underlying it.

Bright, lively, nicely balanced. A backbone of strawberry? Not for heavy food. Nice and a pleasing weekday wine. Would buy again.

Strong notes of dark berry. Tart flavor. At first I even thought the bottle was off. Not for me.
