Never tasted this bottling before, I just hoped for a decent showing. Instead, it completely reshaped my view of Barbera.

Deep opaque garnet with a slight tawny rim. The nose is captivating with blackberry jam, fig, cedar, dry pine cone, worn leather, clove, and a hint of truffle. Seamless palate - full body with vibrant
acidity, supple tannins that still have firm grip, and a velvety texture. Long, elegant finish. Still has 5–8 graceful years ahead. By far the best Barbera I’ve tasted.

Deeper ruby , slightly narrower garnet , ruby rim . Quite richly fruited with a meaty , smoky character also , red plum , dark cherry , blackberry , touch of spice . On the palate this has quite good density and grippy tannin , balanced acidity , darker ripe fruits. Reasonable length . Quite polished and modern in style . Needs time , come back in 5 years and will last well at least a further 10 . — 15 days ago

Talk about a wine you could drink everyday for the rest of your life. Balance. Lightweight contender. Medium tannins, in perfect form — 11 days ago

2022 vintage. Medium/medium heavy body. Very nice but this was lacking the front and mid palate richness of the previous vintage. 06.18.25. — a month ago

A bit much. Not elegant but super intense and almost seemed young. Only 13% but felt like more. — a month ago
