Critic Acclaimed & Distinctly Crafted
Honored with 90 Points by Vinous, this Barbera presents an attractive mid-weight profile bursting with juicy red and purplish fruits. Delicate floral notes of lavender and rose petal weave through each sip, offering exceptional varietal clarity rather than overwhelming richness—a refreshing departure from heavier California reds.

Pouring deep purple, the wine entices with layered aromas of ripe blackberries, baking spices, black tea, earthy undertones, and subtle leather. The palate delights with its lush texture and pronounced natural acidity—perfectly tempering medium-dry tannins for exceptional food versatility. Enjoy a generous, velvety finish that lingers gracefully.

Ideal for Discerning Palates
At 13.2% alcohol, this food-friendly Barbera shines alongside roasted poultry, mushroom risotto, or aged cheeses. Its bright structure cuts through richness while complementing complex sauces—making it an essential addition for curated dinners or thoughtful gifting.
