Stereotypical #Barbera from D'Alba. Dark olive color, shiny. Very very perfumey. Lots of roses, damp blue flowers, stemmy. Tart blueberry, dry maraschino cherry. Quick tannin. Elegance from start to finish.

This was the best effort I've had from these folks. 11-13 bucks is a real bargain. Guts, not overly lactic, and a great pairing with my dinner.

Bold floral perfume, lipstick and cherry on the nose. Super smooth and dry with cherry on oak on the tongue. I dig this wine! #barbera #wine #italy

2013. Nice leather and earthiness on the nose. Soft berry notes and vanilla bean. Very mild tannins. Slightly acidic at the moment. Great value under $20.
