So juicy and easy to drink. Great pairing with my salsiccia and broccoli pizza.

Seems to have lost its freshness perhaps an off bottle or poor bottling conditions: typically this is a wine I would love

In your face w acidity and tartness at first taste (per Danny) -- though w a little oxygen it opens up and chills out... easy to drink and compliments most all foods.

Dry red wine. Good example of barbera. Light tannins some fruit.

The only thing more harmonious than this Barbera is an evening with old friends, reminiscing about the old country.
