"A fresh and vivid barbera with aromas of baked cherries, dried strawberries, cocoa and red spices on the nose. Fruity and mellow on the palate, with a medium body and a velvety texture. Flavorful finish. Drink now."

"Pouring a youthful magenta color, the 2023 Barbera d'Alba comes from the Roero area, from 35- to 40-year-old vines, and was raised in a fresh style without the use of oak barrels. The nose has both intensity and freshness, with spices, lifted flowers, red and black berries, and cherries. The palate offers crunchy freshness, fine tannins, and a light chalky texture. It's perfect for drinking in the near term or over the coming 5-6 years."

"An array of blue and purple floral aromas leaps from the glass quickly followed by sour plum and mixed spices on this plump and juicy Barbera. Round and plush on the palate with notes of black cherry and dried currants finishing with savory herbs and spices. Best Buy. ‡J.P"

"Aromas of raspberries, wild strawberries, blood orange, crushed stones and hibiscus. Medium-bodied, juicy and racy with dusty tannins and vivid acidity. Zesty finish. Drink now."

"Smart Buys: Sleek and elegant, this red sports black cherry, blackberry, tamarind paste and earth flavors. Solidly built, with excellent intensity, balance and length. Drink now through 2030. 3,800 cases made, 2,200 cases imported.—B.S."
