Deep garnet in the glass. Medium intensity on the nose, showing aromas of dark berry fruit, mocha, toffee, nuts, chocolate and cigar. Good structure and intensity on the palate with the bright acidity and alcohol in harmony. Medium tannins. A very good effort of Barbera. Tasted blind, I thought it was a young Barbaresco. Value for money here.

Very good quality basic Barbera with fresh cherry fruit, spices and well integrated acidity. A classic Italian food wine, not artificially concentrated or sweet. - 88 points

Very bright aromas and flavours of sour cherry, less sour, in fact quite sweet cherry, spice and earth. The finish is long and punctuated by lively, crisp acidity.

Really not that impressed. Thin, woody, not many good qualities. Was much better with pasta and red sauce but pretty uninspired.
