Not a typical Barbera, a little more body and more robust flavor.

Surprisingly excellent for a Barbera. Great fruit along with chalk. Like a Cru Boogie.

Not my favorite barbera- a dark, spicy version of the grape. A little earthy- on second day it was better though! Went well with polenta and meat sauce.

Strong expression of the grape. Less ruby red than Barbara often tends to be, which I like. Darker fruit. Nice balance. Great wine for the money. Went well with pork.
