I really love this Barbera. Might have a blind spot, but totally skews QPR! Atypical, but great.

2010 Barbera Superiore. Absolutely loved this. Wonderful balance of acidity with red fruits and a layered earthy tension. Flower day indeed!

2013 $22. Great sweet digestif. Pair with salty foods or have alone.

More than agreeable. Light fruit, but composes itself for the finish.
