Not as much tobacco as the previous Barbera we had 2 weeks ago. Low tannin and high acid as normal. Stainless steel and old Slovakian oak. Very Good. 2013 vintage.

Really easy. Blackberry, strawberry. Little tannic, nice acid and a bit of tobacco.

Although I consider this as the 'wrong' Rinaldi, this Barbera is more than OK.

Not as good as the other bottles I’ve had from these guys. Sour plum and dark fruit.

dark plum,deep purple violet and lavender aromas. no sense of any peppery notes...(lovely aromas!) sharp acidity but it's also round on the palate. fruity finish(of biting red apples) medium tannin, med plus acidity, med alcohol. easy drinking wine before the heavy course.
