Packed w/ dense fruit: blueberry, plum, great texture. Still has years
to go. Reaffirms Barbera as one of the great food wines for me.

2022 vintage. Tasted with the winemaker. Excellent punch, richness and drinkability. Medium-medium heavy body with a sustained fruity finish. $29 resto cost a bottle. Woulda picked up the last two cases available but recently committed to a few cases of another Barbera d'Alba that showed just as well. If I come across this on a resto list, I'll hit it. 02.07.25.

18s seem ready to drink. This floats in the mouth. Firm and friendly.

Still rather fresh with red and black cherries (also some jam), smooth vanilla and a very good balance of acidity and sweetness. Round and full in the palate. Perfect to drink now.
