"Displaying a purplish/red color, the 2022 Barbera d'Asti Bricco opens with spiced aromas of ripe plum, clove, cedar, and crushed flowers. Medium to full-bodied, it has a savory profile on the palate, with well-defined tannins and zesty acidity that keeps the wine fresh and energetic. The finish is balanced and persistent. Drink 2026-2032."

"A pretty austere barbera showing cherries, roasted spices and a hint of rust and stones. Linear and medium-bodied on the palate with present tannins and a juicy, nicely sharp finish. Drink now."

"Camphor, cherry, blackberry and spicy pipe tobacco aromas and flavors highlight this complex, succulent red. Balanced and solidly structured, with a long aftertaste of fruit, earth and savory notes. Drink now through 2028. 1,400 cases made, 467 cases imported."Bruce Sanderson"
