• Barbera is a dark-skinned red grape variety.
• Being naturally high in acidity, Barbera can be grown in warmer climates without producing overblown, flat wines.
• When young, most Barbera wines have a bright-red cherry character, distinguished from Nebbiolo, by softertannins and a certain roundness.

 Rich ruby purple color with concentrated ripe aromas of red raspberry and cherry with a touch of vanilla, toast and spice. On the richer side of Barbera with lush fruit, well balanced acidity, good integration of oak and a long lingering finish.

Light ruby red with a very fruity nose. Bright red fruits, currants and cranberries with a very soft, supple texture.

True Nebbiolo character comes through in bright color, vivid fruit, perfume of violets and tar. Stunning balance of richness and delicacy. Very long finish, refreshing yet complex.

• Surprisingly good, with interesting Nebbiolo nose and good structure. Somewhat dry and tannic, but similar to many nebbiolos that never resolve all the tannins. Breathing one to two hours is helpful to this wine.
• red cherries, licorice, rose petals and spices round out the supple finish.
