(7/2016) "The 2005 Barbera d'Alba Riserva Vigneto Pozzo dell'Annunziata from magnum is fabulous. Rich, voluptuous and exquisitely layered, the 2005 hits all the right notes. Dark red cherry, plum, mocha and sweet spices are all pushed forward into the sensual, inviting finish. This is a superb showing from Voerzio's Barbera. Drinking Window: 2016 - 2025."

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.

(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."

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!

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.

Easton "Cooper Ranch" Shenandoah Valley Barbera 2009
How often do you get to buy a 10 year old Californian Barbera? Go against the grain! $28 at the winery!
89
Our Score
(8/2019) Barbera is one of the Italian varieties that has had some success in California. Even in its homeland of Piemonte, in northwestern Italy, recent movements have seen producers seeking higher levels of ripness. Barbera is blessed with extremely high acidity, and only by reaching higher degrees of ripeness and alcohol does that balance. In sunny California this is incredibly helpful and you have seen it offering freshness and counterbalance in big blends for some time. Bill Easton likens this wine to those modern, barrique-aged wines from Italy. He is also a mad-man, who else would hold a Californian Barbera for 6 years in the winery before even considering releasing it? It works! Beautiful fresh looking in the glass, the profile is quite spicy. Spiced berries, green herb, cinnamon, tobacco and vanilla are predominant notes, and the whole package is rather integrated at this point, with a savory quality and notably long finish. A delightful food wine that will handle all proteins and would love tomatoes as well.

(12/2015) "The 2013 Barbera d'Asti Le Orme is an absolutely gorgeous wine for the money. Plump, juicy and expressive, the 2013 will make plenty of consumers happy. This is a fairly overt, fruit-driven style for Asti, but all the elements are very nicely balanced throughout."
