Serraboella Barbera d'Alba

The 2018 Barbera d'Alba Vigna Serraboella is a real standout. After going through dozens of frankly innocuous Dolcettos, Barbera and Langhe Nebbiolos I was thrilled to taste a wine of true distinction. Rich, ample and generous, the 2018 possesses superb depth and complexity. A rush of black cherry, plum, mocha, spice and licorice lead into the sumptuous finish. What a wine!

2014, after decanting for an hour the finished matches the nose of purple flowers. Great depth and a fun bottle!

Tasty and good for value. Italy keeps killing the 20 dollar range.

Wine with dinner at Il Buco Alimentari. Whole table loved it! Bright red fruit - cherry, raspberry - but also great acidity for pasta pairing.

I love a good Barbera, and that's what this was. Acidity nicely in balance, fruit (blackberry, damson) clear but not too sweet, a pleasant rusticity and slightly pulpy texture to medium bodied palate.

Barbera is one of my favorite grapes. Great freshness and light tannins very forward and seductive.

Nose - Smells like strawberry Starbust candy and unsweetened cranberry juice. Main tastes - tart pomegranate and Kool-Aid. Mouth feel and weight - medium weight with a bit of tannin and some healthy acid. Not bad but a little more on the astringent side on the finish for my taste.

Very nice fruity flavors. Could use a little time to develop and smooth out.

Zingy, tasty and full of flavor

Fantastico!!
