July 7, 2020 - Crazy good Barbera in its price range. Crafted to perfection. Such vibrancy and freshness in a powerful 15° wine is not an easy task. Bravissimo Chiara!
Lots of blackcurrant, woodsy note of cedar and graphite, menthol and blond tobacco. It can pair with everything from the most humble dish to the more spicy and thick one. -

March 11, 2019 - Delicious Barbera. Agree with all previous notes, drink now or save a few years. Either way a winner. Great with food.
Three hour later, this is a solid bottle. More than you might expect. Big fruit, juicy acidity, serious tannins chasing up the rear. Keeps me going back! -
