  Soft, supple, and full of flavor. Fragrant floral. Well balanced with a hint of dark cherry. Drinks very well right now and another couple years. Not a long keeper but lovely.

  Dark colour with red fruits, cherries, plums, medium bodied with good depth, liked this more than the 17 Bartolo Barbera I had a few days ago but best with 1-2 more years

  This had a quite lovely nose of red cherries, strawberries, violets, roses, and figs. Nice acidity with more strawberries, cherries, kirsch, and leather on the palate. Good finish and body and noticeable tannins for a Barbera. Delicious and went really well with pasta, but a bit expensive for what it is.

  Pop/Pour. Shows a darker plum fruit, with good acidity and tannins of youth. Great fruity drink and rather tasty. Value might be debatable but tasty nonetheless.

  Another excellent Barbera from Bartolo Mascarello.
  The bouquet convinces with some fresh raspberries, rose pedals and some almonds.
  The 2016 is quite powerful compared to other vintages, but the intense intensity give it a crunchy and lively mouthfeel.
