Winemaker Notes
Aromas of rosemary, seared meat, road dust and jolly rancher. On the palate, sour cherry, white pepper, fennel with a dusty and rustic texture.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2022 Barbera is scented of sour cherries, Italian plum, orange peel, wildflowers and earthy undertones. The light-bodied palate has a core of perfumed red fruit, chalky tannins, fireworks of fresh acidity and a long, spicy finish.
Friendly and approachable, Barbera produces wines in a wide range of styles, from youthful, fresh and fruity to serious, structured and age-worthy. Piedmont is the most famous source of Barbera; those from Asti and Alba garner the most praise. Barbera actually can adapt to many climates and enjoys success in some New World regions. Somm Secret—In the past it wasn’t common or even accepted to age Barbera in oak but today both styles—oaked and unoaked—abound and in fact most Piedmontese producers today produce both styles.
