This is really a lovely expression of the varietal-- tangy bright acidity w hints of cherries and black fruit that rounds the bend w a strong finish redolent of almond and almond-skin. Perhaps a bit thin and sharp but if you know Barbera and want Barbera, this is Barbera true to form.

The nose is slightly closed and the color moderately deep. In the mouth the most dominant character is the slightly tart acid but there is a background of ripe fruit and a bit of structural tannins. Not the most distinctive wine but quite comfortable with pork rage and veal saltimbocca. It will improve with a bit more bottle time.

Deep ruby, spicy nose, simple red fruits with high acid; short-medium finish. Nice table wine. 82-83

Barbera true to form, with high acidity and good red fruit. Easy drinking wine that pairs great with food, this is a great weekday wine.

Big, juicy and fruit-forward. Plenty of cherry and ripe raspberry with a dry and easygoing finish.

Quite tannic, and flavors have not come together. Has acid to live a long time. Hold for drinking 5-15 years
