This was ok, but not what I expect from Barbera d’Asti. This is pretty high alcohol, rich, low-ish acidity, and has little of the bright red fruit I associate with Barbera. The fruit was deeper red and hinted at cherry cola. It did ok with some food but not sure I’d buy more.

2016 San Felice Chianti Classico

Spot-on Chianti. Red fruit, herbs, tangy acidity, light to medium bodied but good depth and saturation of flavors. San Felice is to me the most consistently good Chianti around. Wish I’d bought a lot more of this 2016, but will just have to wait for the 2020s I have to come around.

Beautiful ruby color. Fairly light bodied but good depth of flavor. Lots of red, red fruit - mostly red cherry/candied cherry, and some cranberry. Also a good dose of menthol in there, and some earthiness to balance it all out. Fairly simple but good Nebbiolo, and good value.
