If you like earthy Barbera, and I do, a great option.

Cooked fruit (maybe cherry) on the nose initially but once it opened up not as jammy. Deep ruby color. Bursting with what felt like pepper/spice. A hint of smoke. Light bodied. High acid. Low tannins. Simple.

Nice Barbera with a distinctive tamari note which suggests to me it would be a perfect red to serve with sushi.

Tannins souples. Terreux. Tabac, fruits noirs, légèrement confituré. Parfait avec des plats réconfortants (braisés, mijotés, etc.)

straightforward, linear, tasty wine. cherry fruit, black olive, pepper and smoke, some earthiness, perhaps rose petal. it’s a nice simple sipping wine with really elegant mouthfeel.

Lots of acid, pretty mineral, black olive, tobacco, earthy but with a bite, maybe a touch of smoke, pretty short finish. From Seventh Avenue Liquors.

Un barbera d’alba très joliment fait. Tout simple, bien sur le fruit, fraise - des bois, peu de tannins voir pas, super équilibré, pas hyper long. Yum, super avec mes jolies pasta.
