Medium ruby, with a voluptuous bouquet of violet, coffee, pepper, cherry, leather and licorice. Sweet fruit on the palate, mild tannins and vibrant acidity.

Barbera D’Asti?
I think they misspelled acid.
But really though, it’s 2017... and under $20. It’s not a great wine, but it’s youthful, and it’s Italian which means it needs food. It’s an 8.6. But with food? It’s an 8.8...
The house is very respectable. Reminds me of my time in Torino.

Cherry all the way. Soft on the palate with medium body and acidity. Great wine with food.

A tiny pinch sweet, not very heavy on tannins.

Bright fruit flavours developing into a light smoky tannin palate with airation. Great on its own or with red meats

It’s the compact Fiat of Italian table wine.

Inky opaque closed nose needed long time in decanter to open up (it was better next day) finally showed distinct blue & black fruit, herbs, pepper/spice, Earth, with fine grained tannins in mid-palate, very soft & round, but finish was disjointed with an acidic astringency - atypical Barbera - maybe this got hot in transit?

Dark ruby color with purple highlights. Aromas of bramble berries, purple flowers and fresh herbs. Red raspberry, red currant and red cherry flavors dominate the palate with a hint of blueberry, roasted nuts and wet soil. Nice savory finish. Very little tannin and a nice amount of acidity.
