Barbera d'Alba 2022

Dark ruby color with purple highlights. Expressive aromas of red berries, rose petals, violets and red plum. Bold palate is a blend of red and black cherries, red and black berries and sweet baking spices. Firm tannins and hefty structure. Long lasting and vibrant. Wonderful freshness and very versatile from a pairing perspective. I did not notice the 15+% alcohol content. Solid QPR. — 4 days ago

Very pretty. Manure, controlled. Cherry, roses, violets, black currant, and sexy musk. Ripping acids. Transparent burgundy character. Just entering its drinking window — 10 days ago

Valmaggiore Nebbiolo d'Alba 2021

Deep Ruby color with aromas of rich berry fruits and floral spice, aged for 14 months in French oak. On the palate flavors of cherry, plum and raspberry flavors, with leather, cacao, spice, herbs and tobacco notes. Lively acidity, fine chewy tannins, medium+ finish ending with spicy mineral and earthy oak. Nice! — 22 days ago

Barbera d'Alba 2020

A $40 Barbera….. but it drinks like a $40 Barbera. Really tasty. Would be a great midweek go to wine when cooking Italian at home. — 11 days ago

Vigna Scarrone Barbera d'Alba 2021

2021 vintage. Last tasted a week ago (9.3). Everything I said then + a caviar bump this tasting episode. Unexpected lushness hand in hand with likes to fight guy...er...tannins. Ridiculous juice now. Dunno where it'll land in a 5-spot but guessing it'll be a pretty perfect landing. 7.23.24. — 2 months ago
