Chunky red plum aromas get this one cooking, and there is plenty more plum and cherry backing up the lively bouquet. The finish is clean, if a bit basic. Overall it’s a tight, structured, textbook modern Barbera, one that’ll be ideal at the dinner table.

The bouquet is a bit earthy at first, but then it hits stride, offering a nice mix of muscular plum and mocha-scented oak. The palate features classy red cherry flavors and ample spice, while the core is wound tight as a ball. The finish reveals solid tannins and healthy acids.

Here is a simple, informal expression of Barbera that ushers forth bright aromas of forest fruit, cola and dried currants. Those ripe berry flavors are ultimately washed away by the wine’s fresh acidity.

There’s an earthy note of white mushroom or cured meat that is followed by bright freshness in the mouth. Pair this easy Barbera with cheesy pasta or pizza.

Slightly more subdued in aromatic intensity, this vintage of Vignassa does offer power and determination in the mouth. The bouquet is comprised of red fruit and spice elements along with crisp acidity.

This Barbera represents a return to Asti tradition thanks to its clean, simple aromas of fresh fruit, mild spice and wet earth. The wine is sharp, tangy and crisp in the mouth and would pair perfectly with cheesy or buttery dishes.

Here’s a gem of a family-run winery and a refreshing discovery in the Asti area. Following a selection of international and local varieties in the producer’s portfolio, the Giorgia Moscato d’Asti is thick with spring flowers, mimosa and jasmine. Apricot and kiwi are tightly packed around a dessert wine with just enough acidity to keep it perky and interesting. Imported by Banville & Jones Wine Merchants.
