Here’s a lovely expression of Barbera from Asti, Piedmont, with a pretty balance of chocolate, cherry and blackberry aromas. Smoky oak-related elements appear in the background as do drying mineral notes. With some 29,000 cases made, this wine should not be difficult to locate and the low price is hard to beat.

Here’s a ripe and slightly jammy expression of Barbera d’Alba with thick fruit layers followed by intense spice, chocolate and toasted almond. The wine is succulent and dense in the mouth and would stand up to braised beef or country stew.

La Casa in Collina Barbaresco (“the house on the hill”) presents soft and yielding oak tones with aromas of red cherry, vanilla cream, cinnamon and dark chocolate. In the mouth, it shows tight astringency and good acidity to balance things out.

I loved the fresh fruit and delicate floral notes that seemed to drift off the nose with amazing intensity. Peach, honeydew and honeysuckle strike a harmonious chord and accent the sparkler’s residual sugar.

A ripe and rich Barbera d’Asti Superiore with pleasantly inviting aromas of ripe blackberry, Maraschino cherry and exotic spice. All those aromatic layers are washed clean over the palate thanks to the wine’s fresh acidity that kicks in on the finish.

Rich in blueberry and black licorice-like nuances, this is a well-flushed out and harmonious wine laced with smoke and espresso bean aromas. It has aged one year in oak to achieve a successful balance between smooth tannins and crispness.

Here is a vineyard-designate wine bursting with floral notes: jasmine, honeysuckle and orange blossom. Exotic fruit takes over in the mouth leaving a trail of kiwi, lime and peach backed by thick, creamy mousse. Imported by S&S Import Sales.

With the whimsical name Paesi Tuoi (“your countries”), this youthful Barolo will definitely appeal to refined, international taste buds. The wine opens beautifully with loads of rose, violet and blue flower. In the mouth, it shows soft, silky tannins and bright acidity. Drink after 2015.

Essenza is a ripe expression of Nebbiolo from the 2006 vintage with earthy nuances, wild berry and pressed red rose. This Barolo offers very good dimension and overall depth of aroma, backed by a thicker, pulpier mouthfeel. The tannins are still young so let this wine age at least five more years.
