Rocca Felice Superiore Barbera d'Alba

Medium ruby-hued. Aromas and flavors of blueberry, cherry, fig, licorice, and red plum. Medium body; medium-plus tannins; and high acidity. A pronounced bouquet of red and candied fruit on the nose; a full, yet plush, mouthfeel; and a zesty, medium-length finish. Probably needs more time to integrate and soften the tannins, but nonetheless drinkable now.

I just really mess with barbera I’m finding out

Nice medium fruit and slightly tart. Med to high acid. Med low tannin.

The best thing I can say about Barbera is that like black cherry soda, it goes great with pizza and meatball subs. Otherwise, this is pretty one dimensional and a black cherry bomb with low acid, low tannin. Not bad at all, just not much fun either.

Very nice. Vanilla, cherry, light.

Blasé, blasé. A little jammy. Bland.

Textbook Barbera flavor profile, and certainly good, but not exciting. Slightly stewed red and black fruit with a wet concrete minerality. Medium acid and tannin. Went well with pizza.

Light with good flavor profile and highly sipable.

Not our favorite Barbera but very nice

Dry with vanilla, total wine
