  • Score: 90 Vintage 2022 Wine Enthusiast This Barbera strikes a perfect balance between earth and fruit, offering a classic expression of the variety. Herbal and woodsy nuances provide a rustic backdrop for the wine's dark mixed-berry aromas. The palate showcases a harmonious interplay of these elements, creating a well-structured and satisfying wine. This will appeal to those who appreciate a more grounded and authentic approach to winemaking. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
  • Score: 90 Vintage 2021 Wine Enthusiast Juicy and ripe blueberry, blackberry and tart plum on the nose. The intense fruit aromas are complimented by an elegant violet candy note. The palate switches gear with more tart fruit flavors of sour cherry. This is a classic example of Barbera from Asti. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
