Solid Barbera with plenty of fruit and structure and just a bit of dirt.

Benchmark Barbera. Just wonderful. The dollop of Nebbiolo is the cherry on top

Lovely Barbera de Alba with body and nice acidity. Pair with Burrata and prosciutto!

Been really enjoying the barberas I've been having recently. This no different, ripe soft red fruits with tight acidity to balance it out. Such great value.

Really nice barbera, very affordable priced. Had at Bliss in San Antonio, great restaurant overall. Would definitely buy this again if I can find it

Good everyday wine. Red fruit and spice. Don't like the synthetic cork though,

PnP. Dark maroon color with subtle purple hues. Dried cherries with hints of chocolate and perfume on the nose. Light wine with dried cherries on the palate. Not much to this. Not much depth and slightly tart finish. Don’t think this is a wine for aging. The perfume is nice however after being open for a bit.
