  March 23, 2014 - I think it was spoiled. It was not completely undrinkable, but rough and unpleasant. Based on my previous positive impression I think this bottle was spoiled.

  October 10, 2013 - Slightly overripe, lacks definition. A sloppy wine, but fine for pizza. Barbera can be so much better than this

  July 27, 2013 - I think that in blind testing I would classify it as typical Barbera wine (in spite of my very limited experience). It is light bodied (at least lighter than medium), with pronounced fruity-floral aroma, with complexity which does not stress you a bit, fresh and easy. Clarity in taste tones, almost crispy. It is not simplistic table wine, it certainly can be enjoyed, but it does not pretend to be sophisticated treasure wine. I drunk more than I expected without noticing it. Pleasant.

  June 29, 2013 - Delicate, subtle yet smooth. It needs time in general and once consumed to open up but wonderful for the price point.
