| Community Tasting Notes (average 94 pts. and median of 94 pts. in 2 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by MAOC on 3/3/2017: Still quite dark red with little bricking. Grew in stature in the decanter - rich baked cherries with hints of leather and tar - not super complex but lovely texture and profile. 35 years young **** (828 views) | | | Tasted by AudunG on 9/20/2015 & rated 94 points: Impressively dark color. Clean and complex aromas with Christmas cakes, dried fruit etc. Extremely elegant for a Barbera. Not plagued by oak at all. A great experience! (1045 views) |

Barbera is a red wine variety, originally from Italy, which is best known as the second-most important Piedmontese variety after Nebbiolo. The wines made of this grape are mainly the everyday drinking wines of the region. The main appellations producing Barbera are Asti and Alba.
Barbera - The most widely grown red wine grape of Piedmont and Southern Lombardy, most famously around the towns of Asti and Alba, and Pavia. The wines of Barbera were once simply "what you drank while waiting for the Barolo to be ready." With a new generation of wine makers, this is no longer the case. The wines are now meticulously vinified, aged Barbera gets the name "Barbera Superiore" (Superior Barbera), sometimes aged in French barrique becoming "Barbera Barricato", and intended for the international market. The wine has bright cherry fruit, a very dark color, and a food-friendly acidity.Italy Italian Wines (ItalianMade.com, The Italian Trade Commission) | Italian Wine Guide on the WineDoctorPiedmont Vignaioli Piemontesi (Italian only)
