Tasting Notes

Crushed red cherry, strawberry, plum, blackberry, lilac, and savory herbs create a vivid, aromatic profile. The palate is medium-bodied, juicy, and polished, with crisp acidity, floral lift, and a refreshing finish.

Food Paring

Bring out this Barbera with lasagna, tomato-sauced pasta, or a brick-fired pizza for a bright, savory match. It also pairs beautifully with slow-cooked or smoked tenderloin, where its lively acidity keeps every bite fresh.

Professional Reviews

91 Wine Enthusiast

"Opening with aromas of smoked game, dark blackberries, and savory herbs that rise from the glass like a campfire. The palate is tart, lifted, and bursting with mixed forest berries and floral flavors. The mouthwatering acidity keeps the palate primed and fresh after each sip."

90 James Suckling

"A mix of red and purple fruit with hints of lilacs, red flowers and candied orange peel. Medium-bodied with vivid and tense acidity. Juicy and crunchy with a polished finish. Drink now."

90 Vinous

"The wine is a gorgeous entry-level. Bright red cherry/strawberry fruit, spice and lifted floreal accents all grace this refreshing, vibrant wine. Medium in body with terrific purity, the wine is an absolute delight."
