"The 2022 Barbera D'Alba Superioreis slightly deeper ruby red and has a pretty, floral perfume of violets, fresh blackberries, and sweet herbs. The palate has a ripe, yet refreshing and snappy feel, and while it was a hot vintage, this is certainly an example where Barbera can retain its acidity and thrive. It™s crispy and fresh and has a delicate note of oak spice that frames the wine, followed by a lasting perfume on the finish. Drink over the next 10 years."

"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."

"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."
