You have Barbera and then more Barbara. This a a full bodied one. Thich black cherries and other dark forest fruit. Cinnamon spiced. Still some tanine for the bite, Italian acids to keep it fresh.

Blackberries, tar, violets. An attractive, fairly straightforward Barbera that shows more rottenness than one might expect from this vintage. Tasty.

Aromatic triple berry, cedar, cloves. Acid jumps from mid palette to finish with underlining flavors or blackberries, anise and complex tannins.

High QPR $18 Costco winner. At cooler temps, this leans towards a simple rich black-cherry wine, but at room temp it gains some backbone.

Deep purple hue. Violet notes on nose. Blackberry, blueberry, violets, vanilla. Not overly complex, but an enjoyable wine with nice acidity which stood up well to Italian meats and cheeses.

Dark, only indigo colour with notes of black currant, dark plum and tobacco. Continues to be a stand out, high value, Italian red.
