Definitely similar to the 2008; bright and lively with a nice mouthfeel.

This is a truly enjoyable wine and a very pleasant surprise. We never had Barbera before and found this wine to be elegant and delicious. It has delicate aromas of cherry and red berries. Tannins are present but never overpowering. It also has a nice vibrant acidity that goes very nice with food. We had it with veal chops in truffle sauce and risotto with mushrooms, peas and cheese.

Raspberry overtones, pairs well with chocolate cake and tomato based Italian dishes.

Rich, acidic, blackberry, cherry tones. Really enjoyed it but I don't know if I've met a #Barbera I didn't like. 🍷#wine #wineporn #winestagram #wino #italian #redwine

Cherry with a touch of dark currant. Medium-bodied. Even tannins.

Very good wine, medium-bodied wine with a velvety texture and depth. Highly recommend as it is a very affordable bottle of wine ($14.99)
