Vintage 2016 / nice red fruit in smell, some spicyness, roundness in taste. This Barbera does not have a lot of concentration but is very quaffable. Good wine from Piemonte, medium acidity.

Nicely balanced- some fruits with some tannin/acidity. Solid value for the price. Really great with pasta.

Lots of acid. Cranberry, unripe cherry, bell pepper, tobacco, some ballpoint pen. A little bitter? Was open for a while but maybe needed more air, mellowed out over dinner but still... From Provincetown liquor store.
