Disclaimer: I’m not a Barbera fan. This is decent pizza wine. Nose is very winey. Scents of barrel room, tangy dark berries, and licorice. You can smell the acidity. Lean and cleansingly acidic in the mouth. Crisp finish.
OK, I’ve done my Barbera requirement for the half-decade.

Old World to it's core. It's got everything that you expect from a quality Barbera, the leather and the acidity. After opening up, you'll get the aroma of dark fruits and spice. I love the rustic aspect of this wine, it's exactly what I wanted from this bottle. It's got the leather, tight acidity, and fresh berries that you want. A nice, long finish caps this baby off.

Awesome Barbera. Fresh but with nice weight. Loads of flavorful dark fruit (plum ) intermingled with earth and graphite notes. Great value at around $20.

2020 vintage. Medium/medium-heavy body. Blessed with richness up front and grip on the back end without obvious flaws or gaping palate holes. A bit of something for everyone and at decent pricing. In consideration for future...considerations. 01.22.25.

Nice Barbera example. Some transparency, darker plum profile well balanced around alcohol and acidity.
