2022 Barbera Wine from Dry Creek Valley – Rich Flavor

Discover Unti Vineyards’ 2021 Barbera—a vibrant expression of Dry Creek Valley’s terroir from Sonoma County’s renowned wine region. Crafted by winemakers who harness the unique potential of this area’s soils and climate, this Italian varietal shines with bold fruit-forward flavors balanced by crisp acidity—a hallmark of California Barbera wines at their finest.

This vintage introduces a dynamic blend of fruit from both mature vines and newer plantings established in 2018. The younger vines contribute lively red berry notes and freshness, while older blocks add depth and structure, creating a harmonious balance between youthfulness and complexity. With notes of dark cherry, wild plum, and hints of spice, this wine offers an inviting palate that pairs exceptionally well with hearty dishes like braised meats or earthy mushroom risottos.

At 14.6% alcohol by volume, its approachable richness makes it versatile for both immediate enjoyment or cellaring—ideal for collectors who appreciate how Barbera’s acidity allows it to age gracefully over one to two years. Whether you’re savoring it now or letting it mature in your cellar, this Dry Creek Valley gem showcases why Unti Vineyards stands out among California’s premium Barbera producers.
