An absolute punch in the face. An excellent Barbera. You will like it even if it’s not your thing.

A Barbera that lacks balance, sadly. Nice price point at Costco, but this Red has a bit too much vanillin and oak, a sappy blue-fruit nose, and herbaceous acidity… not in a good way. Other vintages seem to get better reviews, so perhaps we had an off bottle.

Deep pomegranate color. Aromas of ripened black cherries, sweet berry jam, cotton sheets and inviting herbal notes. Similar but more concentrated flavors with baked blueberry pie and dried herbs. Rich, savory, well balanced and fine tannins. Truly superb Barbera D'Asti!

2021 vintage. QPR off the charts. $13.43 a bottle resto cost. Ridiculously good at that price. Medium body with spice, fruit and structure. Too inexpensive for me to exploit but perhaps someone else can? If I see this in the wild, pouncing on all fours. 04.09.25.

Josh. Higher acid, DOCG hides 16% alcohol excellent more pronounced ages very well.

Simply excellent. Tons of overtone flavor, yet dry and succinct.

Was recommended by kokeman for crispy duck Christmas dinner. Drank at Birocco’s with potato pancakes. A little dry but tasty. Not full bodied like American wines.
