- Score: 93 Vintage 2022 Wine Enthusiast Aromatic and pretty, this classic Barbera d'Asti entices with a bouquet of blackberry, raspberry and violet. Well-integrated oak adds structure and complexity without overpowering the fruit. On the palate, the wine is serious and solid, with a harmonious blend of dark fruits and subtle wood nuances that never overpower the wine. A delightful mix of elegance and power, this wine is built to last. Drink Now–2040 Shelf Talker Full Page Review
- Score: 88 Vintage 2017 Wine Enthusiast Delicate aromas of dark-skinned fruit, scorched earth and baking spice emerge from the glass. The concentrated palate suggests ripe black plum, star anise and clove alongside smooth tannins and the heat of evident alcohol. Drink through 2023. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
