A ripe mouthful with lots of lift. All about pleasure; nicely done!

Young, bright Barbera. Very drinkable with some early black fruits and currants. Give you more length than a Asti. If you're looking for a nice pizza and pasta night, this will deliver.

Needs a bit of aging to soften the tannins. Love the color and lots of fruit.

This was a juice bomb, fruit forward, but raw tannins. I wanted to try a young vintage but this needs a great deal of time in ideal aging conditions to soften tannins. My rating reflects the young vintage, not the quality of the wine!

Not my jam. At all. Unbalanced, weirdly astringent, and just not enjoyable.

Cranberry and orange. Sour fruit and tannin. Not enormously enjoyable. Probably better with age. Or possible a bit warmer and more air.
