Dark for Italian wine but light compared to California wines, right in the middle and perfectly balanced wine.

Absolutely loved this barbera--intense and complex but still jubilant and fresh, this was full of spice, herbs, cherries, blackberries, and more. I want to buy some.

At least as good as the 2010. Oak presence more obvious on the 2012. Excellent with funghi pizza. Punches above its weight.
