September 28, 2022 - Bright ruby red, medium bodied, bright berry and moderately acid-y and astringent on the palate, more side-to-side than front to back. Not sure age is improving things. I’m relieved we have only one more bottle, actually.

November 12, 2021 - PNP into 薄はり葡萄酒器 (“Flower” day): Pale bright ruby to the eyes.
Liquor red and purplish cherry to the nose. Some florals.
Bright acidity, super suave tannins.
93 points to me and great with food! -

November 9, 2021 - Approachable and tasty now, with good tannic structure and length. Better in another year or two.

April 17, 2021 - Good wine with pasta, pizza. Nice balance, does not show the heat of the listed 15% especially. Savory. Something to drink ideally in a small simple place in Piemonte, but also good in New England.

March 2, 2021 - Splash decant, return to bottle. This Barbera has never really captured my attention, but in this vintage, I'm finding good freshness to the med+ body, with avg>avg+ balance. Remained linear over the course of the meal. There's generally a feral nature to this wine that works depending on the food, or my mood, or whatever; sometimes it works, sometimes not so much. Good, with enough structure to hold at this level for several more years; though I'd favor drinking sooner than later. recommended
