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.

Sep 6th, 2020Not as bright as the previous bottles I’ve had but still really nice. Dark fruit - cherry and blackberry - and tannin. Complexity.

Dec 14th, 2020dark 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.
