Ruvei Barbera d'Alba

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.

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.

Buy again, mellowed with breathing - enjoyed

Lots of body, flavorful and perfect with red meat

Excellent for the price, enjoying the heck outa this one, maybe a bit too much :-)

Rubric Barbera d’Alba 2015 Barolo, grapes come from calcareous and clayey vineyards, aged in oak barrels. Fresh aromas of blackberries, red fruit jam, vanilla spice and toasted hazelnut. Full and rich palates.

Very acidic

From memory...overall excellent for the price - cut above the cheaper Barbera d' Alba's.

Got a blue moon in your eye

I’m tasting authentic flavors with a waft of smells that remind me of my first meadow.
