"Magenta with a purple tinge, the 2022 Barbera D'Alba is fresh with notes of wet stones, plummy fruit, and fresh lavender. The 2021 is more snappy, but the 2022 is a fruitier vintage, with medium body, a velvety texture, good richness, ripe tannins, and a rounded feel. It has a lot of immediate appeal and casts a large net."

"A hint of earthiness gives way to rose, rose hip, black cherry and raspberry in this racy red. Bursting with energy and charming, leaving a long, mouthwatering aftertaste. Drink now through 2029. 290 cases made, 97 cases imported."

"Magenta with pink highlights, the 2021 Barbera D'Alba is ripe and inviting with notes of fresh blackberries, mocha, lavender, and a light hint of pepper. Zesty and medium boded, it has bright tangy acidity and clean, ripe tannins. Drink it over the next 5-6 years."

"The 2020 Barbera D'Alba Superiore is transparent with a rich ruby and youthful luminescence and is fragrant with the sweet perfume of blackberry, candied violets, and sweet herbs. It is medium bodied with freshness throughout and has a bit more depth. Drink 2023-2030."

"This has depth and suppleness to the cherry, blackberry and plum fruit flavors, with flashes of violet and almond underlined by vibrant acidity and a mineral vein. Shows fine balance and length. Drink now through 2027. "
