(2970 views) | | Tasted by mguglielmo on 3/31/2011 & rated 84 points: Silky-looking plum purple with ample notes of cocoa, violets, and overripe cherries. VERY fruit forward, fairly new world-ish. Lots of that Piedmont cherry and some strawberry. It's almost gamay/beaujolais-like. Fairly light-med body and a short-med finish. Not terribly acidic or, for that matter, balanced. I tired of it after 2 glasses. Decent, but won't buy again. (3040 views) | | Tasted by Walkersj on 7/7/2010: A really delightful, medium bodied red. Paired well with grilled chicken. Would scoop some up if on sale anywhere (I paid $19 retail) (3176 views) | | Tasted by mikacz on 6/12/2010 & rated 88 points: Czerwono-filetowa suknia. Charakterystyczny szczp - Barbera (nieco podobny do win z Austrii). Szczypiący nos. Usta wyraziste ale malo taninowe,z fajną kwasowościa. Polecane do saletek, jako lekkie, wyraziste wino. Na drugi dzień niestety mocno kwaśne. (2396 views) |

| Icardi Producer websiteBarbera Varietal character (Appellation America) Varietal character (Wikipedia German) Varietal character (Wikipedia English) 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) On weinlagen-infoAsti Consorzio per la Tutela dell'Asti |
