"A ripe magenta/ruby color, the 2022 Barbera D'Asti Leradici is seductive wine with fresh, fruity aromas of pristine blackberries, fresh plums, violets, and crushed stones. On the palate, it offers good structure, with ripe tannins, and fresh acidity, and it has snappy, fresh lift and a clean, stony mineral texture. Drink 2024-2028."

"Aromas of crushed wild berries, citrus peel, blue flowers and hints of sandalwood. Medium-bodied, supple and velvety with a ripe, succulent mid-palate and flavorful finish. Drink now."

"A lavender hue, the 2021 Barbera D'Asti Leradici is lush with aromas of floral perfume, candied plum, and a touch of mocha. It is full-bodied, and juicy throughout. Aged in stainless steel without any wood use, it has a supple texture but is structured, with fresh acidity and a bit of warmth, though it does not feel hot. It is a generous and charming red with good length and structure. Drink 2023-2030."

"This deep and darkly hued Barbera is packed full of juicy black cherry, blackberry and baking spices on the nose. The palate is fleshy as if chomping into a perfectly ripe plum. The wine is forward with primary fruit notes, allspice, vanilla and a fresh herbal note. The finishes with fine tannins and bright acidity. ‡ Jeff Porter"
