First red of night and paired nicely with cheese. Tobacco cherry dominate with earthy truffle overtones. Complex. Very nice smooth tannins almost unnoticeable. — 4 days ago

A nice wine though I don’t see this being really interesting. More on the simple side. — 7 months ago

Very good, especially at the price (21.99 P&P). Cherry, menthol, clove…big and bold. Soft tannins, long finish. Enjoyed with fresh baked sourdough bread and creamy cauliflower /potato soup (ty Roosters) and Taralli crackers with pesto goat cheese). — 2 months ago

First date night after Maeve was born - dry, tanniny, delicious with our fatty red meat dishes (filet and rack of lamb) — 6 months ago

Popped and poured; consumed over a few hours. The 2016 Barbera "Vigna Martina" is deep, dark ruby with an almost impenetrable core. More than ample in the fruit department with all the dark berries. However, it's got enough of the non-fruits: the inorganic earth, purple flowers, some herbs and spices, to leave one in no doubt of its origin. This is certainly one of the more polished versions of Barbera. As for longevity, even at 6 years post vintage, this seemed fairly primary. That being said and based off my experiences with Barbera in this category, I expect the secondary characteristics of leather to begin emerging in the next couple of years. Tasty now and should continue to reward through 2030. — 7 months ago
