Barbera d'Alba
Alba, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
The 2020 Barbera d'Alba is a soft, open-knit wine to drink now and over the next handful of years. In 2020, the Barbera is on the lighter side, as is typical for the year. There is lovely purity to the red berry, spice and floral notes. And of course, plenty of charm. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, January 2022)

was expecting the usual tart Barbera but this one is downright quaffable with just enough grip on the finish for dinner.

Absolutely delicious. One of the best values on the market in traditional Barbera. The real deal.

Warm vintage so riper w more alcohol. However it’s also more rounded and drinkable now and has decent acidity to balance it out. Morello and black cherry, tea leaves and an almost savory black olive note too. Prefer leaner, brighter barberas typically as they pair brilliantly with food

An enjoyable dinner at the Tapas Bar at La Sirena was further enhanced by this delicious wine. Burlotto is certainly one of the hot Barolo producers right now. This Barbera is equally dripping with quality. Violets and layers of red and dark fruits make for a wine that is both sophisticated and accessible. Superb value too. I'll probably pick up a few bottles especially as it has the structure to last a fair while, while also delicious right now.

Medium bodied and pretty luscious but with good acid. Stewed prunes, dried violets, dark tea, ripe cherries. Some black pepper, olives, and leather, too. From Flatiron Wines.
