Light to medium. Good table wine. Can drink without food on a warm day and enjoy. Minimal tannins. Descent acidity. A little watery. Solid table wine for the summer. At $10 I’ll get a few more.

Not a fan. Tight and too aggressively acidic to be enjoyable for me. I know barbera is low tannin and high acid by nature but the vast majority of other barberas I’ve had have been much more balanced. I will say it was more enjoyable with a slight chill on it. I would not buy this again.

Terrific stand alone Barbera. Lightly sweet, smooth finish.

Light bodied and nicely acidic, would go with almost any food or by itself. Cheap.

Light in color and body, high acid, medium alcohol taste, sour berries and sour cherry on the finish, at under $10 this is not bad. YMMV.

Soft and elegant with delicate balance of fruit, mild tannin, and acidity. Good with food; also easy drink ability.
