Vintage 2014 - the basic Barbera of Pio Cesare, very light colour, berries, raspberries, high acidity that makes the wine lively and frivolous!

Cherry and Strawberry flavors. I would have liked more acidity. Medium body. I also thought it was too high in alcohol for this grape.

Not a patch on the La Spinetta, but a fair drop albeit a little too much acid which did nothing for the balance. Great Pizza wine.

Not The smoothest Barbera, but good with red sauce at Giacomo's

Very nice, especially in Alba with pizza made by a Neopolitan couple. On the simpler side, but good acid and earth, certainly very dry.
