A bit more on the volatile side than previous vintages I’ve had

Greatest value around? Sleek yet carrying good fruit intensity, this is a must. 88 points for a quaffer at this price point is very rarely seen, and its naked fruit expression (thanks to Organic farming), is evident too. Amazingly nice people too! 2014 vintage; from now onwards declassified as Vino Rosso, but it's still 100% Barbera, aged in steel and neutral oak. Grap it by the case @indiewineries

Ripe purple plum and tannins. Lighter than you’d expect but it isn’t light. So lovely.

Outstanding. Tastes young and fresh but at the same time had dark black/raspberries, currants, a little sweetness and loads of drink ability. Felt like adult grape juice but not in a grape juice insult kind of way or a flavor profile way, but rather in a joy to drink kind of way ... especially at the price point. #strong recommend
