- Vietti Barbera d'Asti Tre Vigne 2010 Product #26467 (In Stock)
-
-
Always one of the very best values in top quality Barbera, Vietti's Barbera d'Asti sings in the fine 2010 vintage. Bold aromas and flavors of black cherry, bitter chocolate, and a hint of balsamic in a wine that's creamy in the middle and brisk on the finish. Versatile at table, this works with everything from pizza to grilled sausages or chicken.
- Monchiero Carbone Barbera d'Alba Pelisa 2010 Product #27153 (In Stock)

-
Here's a zingy, fresh, Barbera that's loaded with fresh flower and sour cherry flavors and aromas. Bright and juicy with great energy all the way to the finish, where rose petal and black berry notes linger. Great pizza or pasta red and fine with a light chill, too.
"This wine's blue fruit gains depth and complexity from a touch of Brett. It's savory rather than directly fruity, a wine for pork braised with juniper."Wine & Spirits 91 points
- Vajra Barbera d'Alba 2010 Product #26913 (In Stock)

-
While the rating is a tad lower than deserved, the description is right on. A delicious, juicy, bottle of Barbera for sipping or table.
"The 2010 Barbera d’Alba is an attractive, mid-weight wine laced with sweet red berries, crushed flowers and spices. It is best enjoyed over the next few years, while the fruit retains its freshness. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2014."Wine Advocate 89 points
- Oddero Barbera d'Asti Vinchio 2009 Product #26835 (In Stock)
-
-
Yet another terrific value in top-notch Barbera from the Oddero family. This is juicy, fresh, and mouthwatering on the long finish. Fine with pizza, better still with grilled birds.
"This is exuberant, with assertive tannins and a gruff cast to the cherry, blackberry and pepper flavors. Dense and juicy, showing balance and fine length."Wine Spectator 90 points
- Vajra Barbera d'Alba Superiore 2009 Product #27188 (In Stock)
-
-
As always, one of the very best Barbera from 80+ year-old vines.
"Aldo and Milena Vajra are among the quietest and most introspective of Piedmont’s top echelon growers. It is the wines that do the talking here, and they do that ever so eloquently. The estate’s continued focus on excellence throughout their entire range comes through in spades in these new releases. The estate’s 2009 Barbera d’Alba Superiore is one of the deepest, richest and darkest wines I have tasted from this vintage. Still an infant, it bursts from the glass with raspberry jam, cloves and French oak, all wrapped around a serious, intense frame. Sweet, silky tannins frame the opulent finish. This is a decidedly flashy, extroverted wine for Vajra, uncharacteristically rich and poulet, but beautiful if taken on its own terms. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2029."Wine Advocate 92 points
- Vietti Barbera D'alba Scarrone Vigna Vecchia 2010 Product #26716 (In Stock)

-
From nearly 100 year-old Barbera vines in the heart of a Barolo vineyard, this once again shows off fantastic concentration and power for this varietal. Dark, concentrated, black cherry and raspberry fruit with accents of aged balsamic, chocolate, tar, smoke, and licorice root. Packed and brooding right now, needs decanting or 4 years in cellar to really shine. Then, look out!
