| Community Tasting Notes (average 87.7 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 3 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Vinnut on 8/30/2023 & rated 89 points: Dark reddish garnet in color. Full, forward & attractive nose of ripe red fruit aromas of blueberries, cherries & mulberries with overtones of earthy/dusty & floral notes, some spice notes, herbs & minerals. Medium bodied with a good concentration of balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of red cherries, blueberries & plums, herbs & minerals. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & extended airing but has potential for further development with several additional years of aging. Very good QPR. (226 views) | | | Tasted by AnytimeWineTime on 10/11/2022 & rated 91 points: Juicy and delicious. Big red fruit, black cherry, nice balance with a tart finish. (353 views) | | | Tasted by autumn_child on 4/9/2022 & rated 83 points: A bit disjointed at first. Red fruit on the nose. Red fruit especially cherry on the palate. High acidity. This was an easy drinking bottle if one-dimensional. (491 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)
