Tasting Notes
Brilliant ruby in the glass, the 2023 Barbera opens with aromas of wild cherry, fresh raspberry, and blood orange, lifted by subtle notes of violet and baking spice. The palate is lively and energetic, driven by juicy acidity that makes the fruit pop while keeping the wine light and approachable. A touch of savory herb and a hint of cedar add complexity to the finish. This classic expression of Barbera is bright, balanced, and built for the table — pair it with wood-fired pizza, grilled sausages, or a bowl of pasta. Or just enjoy a glass while relaxing and thinking about your next visit to wine country!
