The 2021 Barbaresco is impressive. Intensely aromatic and explosive, the straight Barbaresco shows why 2021 is such a pedigreed vintage. Spice, lavender, sage and mint meld into a core of blue/purplish fruit. A gorgeous, overachieving wine, the 2021 just needs time in bottle. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, October 2024)

Again an excellent showing in QPR. Light on it’s feet (pinot noir like), animalistic, pure. In Italian we say: “una Barbera in purezza” — 6 months ago

Lemon, peach, sea shell, river rock, perfumed white flower. Medium+ body with slightly oily feel on the palate. Plenty of zippy acidity to keep it fresh though. Lots of citrus and floral notes of lemon, lime, and orange with some pith and mineral bitterness.

Tasty stuff and excellent value. Hitting the spot on these warmer days. — 3 years ago

Full bodied but still seemed light. Low tannins. Was very delicious for an Italian themed dinner party. — a month ago

Great wine. Some acid and minerals make it feel more robust. Buy more at North Buena! — 4 months ago

2018 vintage. Spicy and a tad weedy (not the 4/20 variety) nose. Light-medium body but plenty of punch. Abusive Luxardo cherry in the flavors alongside cola nut, raspberry and rhubarb. Biggy tannins but mostly front-loaded vs back end. Needs a good 2 hour decant to air out. Tremendous hollers for the dollars. Almost a Pinot/Burgundy-styled bod. Almost. So much zip and personality. Super fresh and super presh. Love this producer. 3.31.24. — 8 months ago

Brief notes. Mid Ruby in colour. Dried fruit on nose and palate. Liquorice. Finishing in very Nebbiolo fashion with fine powdery dry tannins. Went well with homemade Pizza. — 7 months ago
