Exactly what we were looking for: bright red fruit, earth, good acid, not heavy, perfect with meatballs, fresh tomato sauce and Swiss chard, this wine is a public service

Perfectly balanced Barbera from Monferrato… no blueberry jam here, this Bobby Stuckey curated wine has enough “lift” to pair well with charcuterie and more. Dark cherry with a hint of limestone… aged in neutral oak and concrete by Fabrizio Iuli

With a little air this is a very lovely light bodied , slightly tart wine with persistent tart cherries and a long finish. I dig it.

Bright fruit bounces in your mouth. Nice balance with a light acidity overtone. This is a foody wine...Barbera versus Borolo. Charcuterie and pork’s best new friend. Great value for a fun versatile wine.

This is a great value wine. If you're not a fan of acidity, this might not be for you, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Fresh, ripe red berries, and the faintest touch of earthy mineral.

This wine takes me back to childhood watching adults enjoy their food. This is what I imagine they were drinking in those fancy glasses. Unbelievable value!

First time trying this line, blue fruit, potpourri, tobacco and tar. Need a pizza, can't wait to try more
