2021 Ojai Barbera Rich VineyardSanta Barbara County more |
4/30/2024 - Cosmo M. Likes this wine: 92 pointsThis is a great example of a New World Barbera. Has typical kirsch/cherry flavors but a little more richness and lower acid than an average Italian Barbera. Tannin is subtle and smooth. Long finish. Very food friendly. |

1980 Filippo Sobrero & Figli Vino da TavolaBarbera more |
4/29/2024 - MJHDC wrote: NRTook a flyer here, a lot of good notes on Filippo Sobrero, who is described by the Wassermans as a very traditional producer, including within Monprivato and Villero, that can produce disappointing but sometimes potentially magnificent wines. Not sure where this Barbera was grown, but in a lesser vintage, it was really not much more than a pale rose that, while sound, never developed after opening into anything of real interest. |

2021 Podere Ruggeri Corsini Barbera d'Alba Superiore Armujanmore |
4/29/2024 - sid_loves_wine Likes this wine: 93 pointsI could be slightly underrating this- it was definitely one of the top few Barberas I've enjoyed. I was a little worried it would be hot/jammy at 15% ABV, but it wasn't at all. Just thick and voluptuous with surprisingly fresh, pure fruit. Deep, dark raspberry liqueur, black plums, violet floral shades almost like a Dolcetto (but less "grapey"), touches of slightly brighter blackberry with a bolt of crunchy acidity. You could tell it had some oak aging in a way, with a sort of gentle spice to it, but it was 95% about the fruit. Tannins are there, but very fine and powdery, never coarse. Still feels like a "classic" Italian wine with high acid and such, but not at all the austere style that requires a food pairing to be delicious. Again, I'm being conservative with my rating here, especially as it'll continue to expand and evolve really nicely in the short term. It's usually around $30, but I found it for $25. Sub-$30 is a steal. |

2019 Comm. G.B. Burlotto Barbera d'Alba Avesmore |
4/29/2024 - viniferatu Likes this wine: NRspicy, ripe dark stone fruits, soft acids, weight and ripeness, little tannin, layers of fruit lingering with spicy and tart nuances... very nice with venison today, it's hearty and deep, but quite refreshing, the gamey meat gave it the perfect sounding board... probably not getting better, but it'll surely hold for a year or a few |

2010 Hunt Cellars Barbera Starving Artist Destiny VineyardsPaso Robles more |
5/23/2016 - Mike Kopanski wrote: 88 pointsFeminine soft and approachable. Typical Barbera mild color, showing a bit of age around the rim. Italian nose of sweet berry and cherry. Very distinctive entry of earthy rooty sappy stuff. Mature cherry and other red and black berries. Secondary spicy flavors. Very distinct. Italian spicy and acidic cherry with California ripeness. |

5/23/2016 - Mike Kopanski wrote: 89 pointsVery mature nose. Color shows little of its age except for some clearing at the rim. Displays more tannin than expected. Still distinctly Barbera. Upfront, expressive, candied cherry and plum fruit. Some menthol and a touch of eucalyptus. |

2022 Giovanni Rosso Barbera d'Alba OMAmore |
4/27/2024 - Berilac_Micke Likes this wine: 88 pointsVeeery nice Givoanni Rosso from Serralunga. Silky smooth with nice aftertaste. Low on tannins, rich, fruity. Works with or without food. Not the best Barbera ever, but a veru nice option to Nebbiolo if you want something to drink today and not wait 20 years. |

2021 Vietti Barbera d'Alba Tre Vignemore |
4/27/2024 - sboyle Likes this wine: 91 pointsNotes of dark cherry, licorice, and a beautiful ocean salinity note. Body is medium-plus. Tannins have a medium-coarse grit. It took about two hours to open. Very pleasant. |

2021 Agostino Pavia & Figli Barbera d'Asti Casareggiomore |
4/27/2024 - Muck_n_Hell Likes this wine: 80 pointsReally nice wine, enjoyed with Spaghetti Bolognese but would have been lovely to have on its own. We drank this April 2024, purchased from Valhalla's Goat on Great Western Road. When googled it supposedly goes well with stewed meats, hard cheeses, braised meats, creamy risotto, pasta in tomato based sauces or anything with mushrooms. Delicious, a great recommendation from the staff at VG. |

2001 Braida (Giacomo Bologna) Barbera d'Asti Bricco dell'Uccellonemore |
4/27/2024 - Reinbothe Likes this wine: 95 pointsAbsolutely loved it. This is still very much alive and kicking with all the classic notes of Braida with some mature notes. I would never have guessed 2001. It is many years ago last time I tried this in a much youngest vintage, but this brings me right back to the Dinner in Neive first time I had the pleasure of tasting Braida. Big recommendation |

2020 La Spinetta (Rivetti) Barbera d'Asti Superiore Cà di Pianmore |
4/26/2024 - Vinnut Likes this wine: 90 pointsDark reddish garnet in color, essentially opaque. Full, forward & attractive nose of ripe red fruit aromas of blueberries, cherries & mulberries with overtones of earthy/dusty & floral notes, spice notes, herbs & minerals. Medium bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, plush, ripe fruit flavors of red cherries, blueberries & plums, herbs & minerals. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & extended airing but should develop further with additional aging. A lovely & enjoyable Barbera. IMHO, there is no way objectively possible that this is a "65" point wine unless it was an off bottle. |
