Poderi Aldo Conterno "Conca Tre Pile" Barbara d'Alba 2015
92+
Our Score
(12/2018) This single-site Barbera comes from the Conca Tre Pile, a hilly area located in the famous Barolo cru of Bussia-Soprana in Monforte d'Alba. The grapes are hand harvested from 45-year-old vines, vinified in stainless steel tanks and matured in French barrique for one year. The result is a full-bodied and full-flavored Barbera that is round and lively with excellent balance and a long finish. Dark red fruits are beautifully complemented by oak-driven baking spice and vanilla bean. Treat yourself to this classic Barbera from Aldo Conterno, one of Piedmont's greatest producers!

(2/2018) Offering an amazing combination of flavor and structure, this bottling from siblings Dino, Diana and Gianni Bertolino is as good as Barbera gets. The aromas and flavors are incredibly pure, bright and dense, revealing layer after complex layer, including red fruit, fresh ground espresso, smoke, olive and a hint of barnyard. The taut acidity is perfectly woven into the gritty red earth finish, which seems to go on forever. So delicious now, and will be become even more beautiful over the next 5+ years.

Ghiomo "Ruit Hora" Barbera d'Alba 2016
Released only in particuarly special vintages, the Ruit Hora is the masterpiece of Ghiomo - producer of THE longstanding Vin Chicago favorite Barbera. This is made from a vineyard selection of two rows of old vines, ripening about only one or two bunches per vine with the greatest sun exposure. 5% Nebbiolo is added for vivacity and further structure. This is a seriously powerful expression, seeing 14 months in barrique and weighing in at a healthy 15.5% alcohol. To see the full potential, we recommend five years in the cellar, and don't doubt this wine to see its 15th year in excellent health. After all, we just tasted the 2009 vintage of its baby brother "Lavai" Barbera d'Alba earlier this year which was singing!

Wine Spectator
(6/30/2019) "Underscored by flashy new oak, this red delivers blackberry, black cherry, violet, graphite and toasty oak aromas and flavors. Offers a solid core, but needs time for all the facets to show. Delivers terrific balance and length. Drink now through 2027. 7,000 bottles made, 50 cases imported."

Vinous, Antonio Galloni
(6/2018) "The 2015 Barbera d'Alba offers good up-front immediacy in a bold, fruit-driven style that is best enjoyed upon release. The plump, juicy personality of the year is very much on display. Drinking Window: 2017 - 2021."

G. D. Vajra Barbera d'Alba 2017
91
Our Score
(9/2019) This is a long and strong wine with a refreshing touch of youthful tannin. Dark plum and cherry flavors lead the way with Moroccan spice notes adding a nice complexity. Give this friendly Piemontese red 30 minutes in a decanter to get it really rocking and it will be as dinner table versatile as anything going.

Braida "La Monella" Barbera del Monferrato Frizzante 2018
90+
Our Score
(10/2019) This bone dry, semi-sparkling 100% Barbera comes from several vineyard sites in Piedmont's Monferrato zone. The pressed juice is fermented in stainless steel tanks where it undergoes its foam formation called "presa di spuma." The final result is a wine that is full in flavor and intensity featuring red mixed berries, sour cherry and cranberry with a slight sparkle that refreshes the palate. Serve slightly chilled, immediately after opening, and enjoy with cured meats, spicy pasta dishes, sausages or grilled chicken. Delicious!

Ghiomo "Lavai" Barbera d'Alba 2016
New release of this Vin Chicago favorite!
91
Our Score
(3/2018) From a converted monastery in the municipality of Guarene hails this perennial Vin Chicago favorite. Immediately impressive in the glass, with a brooding, richly dark tone, the 2016 Lavai offers a very clean and expressive nose of cherries, dark plum and oregano. The palate radiates with zinging acidity and delicious prickly red fruit. Youthful, energetic and a bit riper than most vintages, we love this wine's wonderful combination of precision and power. It will pair beautifully with just about anything!

Matteo Correggia Barbera d'Alba 2015

Our Score
(11/2018) Correggia consistently bottles high quality Piedmont reds, including this tasty 2015 Barbera. An "old school" DeGrazia import, the Correggia wines are not flashy or overdone, but authentic - and are especially wonderful when served with food. Look for fresh and tangy red fruits with subtle earth and red floral nuances along with lively acidity and medium tannin. Nuanced enough to be versatile with everything from tacos to braised lamb to pepperoni pizza!

Tenuta Olim Bauda "La Villa" Barbera d'Asti 2017

Our Score
(8/2019) Pure and precise, this is one of the most refined Barberas you'll find for the price. The 2017 La Villa offers a robust mouth presence with flavors of ripe cherry and wild raspberry. Medium to full in body, it offers a lovely, juicy quality along with bright and fresh palate-cleansing acidity. Perfect with simple pizza, pasta with red sauce or - better yet - serve it up with your favorite grilled meat dishes.
