88 Points
Thursday, January 7, 2021 - typical purple-red; blackberry pie & spicy nose; mid-weight; juicy & invigorating, lots of punchy acidity balances the high-toned fruit. canny & well-crafted barbera.
alubia blanca beans w/spicy sausage, cremini mushrooms, castelfranco & pecorino
1/23/21 this has terrific ethereal weight against its high acidity, fun to drink. (88)
mexican chorizo & cabbage casserole w/onions, garlic, little yellow potatoes, sherry vinegar
1/29/21 continues to excel w/assertive food; weight & fruit in terrific step (88)
shrimp in spicy creole sauce , basmati rice

I wish more folks would grow Barbera in the Alto Piedmont because most Langhe versions have become a bit hot for me. If you haven't already, you should try the Nebbiolo which may be even better than the Barbera.
