Been a minute since I rated anything. This is wonderful. Deliciously acidic that gives way to subtle earthiness and a decent amount of tanin for a barbera. Had on NYE with Calabrian meatballs — 3 months ago
Medium-dark ruby hue. Aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, cassis, leather, sage. Plus body, plus tannins, and plus acid - but otherwise smooth and beautifully balanced on the palate. 60% Barbera, 40% Syrah. — 7 months ago

Off the cork, I loved. There’s some earth in there, which I loved, but as this opened up, it got a little more floral and a little more sweet… so I pulled back my rating a touch.
Strong fruit upfront with a little spicy clove and firm tannins. Then a floral nose and sweet finish.
Nice glass of wine. — 2 months ago
Musty (in a good way) nose. Med to bold body. Pepper, strawberry/prune palate. 1 litre . A Joe Godas selection — 14 days ago
Used it mostly for a sauce the other night, but three days in fridge it is still pretty great. Best with slight chill. — 2 months ago
A solid made Grignolino is like a fresh washed duvet cover on your bed. You love to lie in it. — 3 months ago
Medium ruby in color, sparkling; raspberries and blueberries on the nose; tastes like cherry jolly ranchers and candied berries. A really nice dessert wine. I like it. — 8 months ago

Super interesting. Roche likes to be super ripe and this is no exception. Fun wine. — 14 days ago
