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 red/purple color. Violets, rust, blood, plums, and alcohol on the nose. Very muted flavor on the palate. Medium minus depth and short finish.
