Solid Barbera but the slow food restaurant where we got it had 2 famous person pictures of Salvini posted. That wasn’t great for the flavor profile.

Juicy, with just a touch of musky goodness.

Fun wine. Pretty fruit, chalky minerality, cherry, nice acid and soft tannins. Awesome food wine.

Retains a nice bright cherry fruit while fully enveloped in dark, roasted flavors and earthy tones. A good value.

A solid everyday Barbera. Lacks a little in complexity and finesse.

Close to the top wine of thanksgiving. And cheap! So juicy and fruit forward, but minerality and beet earthiness to boot. Yuppers.
