First Chianti style spent money on. Pretty good definite tomato and acid. This one has tannins as I’ve come to expect from macchia.

teso e tagliente come un rasoio, morbido e avvolgente, rotondo e allo stesso tempo duro, granitico, fiori bianchi e frutta gialla, sapido, minerale, ricorda il timo e la macchia mediterranea, lungo e molto persistente. — 8 years ago

AJ 89/100 - 100% Negroamaro con appassimento e passaggio in botte. Colore rosso granata intenso, naso complesso con note di macchia mediterranea, spezie, sottofondo di terra bagnata, in bocca ottimo corpo e pienezza, caldo, con ottimo finale lungo. — 8 years ago

9.1

Fairly dense red, moderately extracted pigment. Black cherry, black currant, mint and butter aromas. Fairly ripe flavors of cherry, blackberry, black currant in mouth, rounded mouthfeel, slightly tart blackberry and cranberry on finish with seed bitterness and mild skin astringency. Lactic aftertaste. After an hour, white pepper and then, 90 minutes later, cocoa emerges in the finish and aftertaste. After two hours, barrel smoke emerges. Great fruit, nothing too fancy on the winemaking end (perhaps deceptively so) but exactly what I’d want from a Lodi Italian varietal like Barbera, especially if you can decant an hour or two and wait for that white pepper and cocoa to emerge. — 4 years ago

Gran grechetto. Naso di frutta gialla matura e tropicale, note burrose, croissant, pasticceria qualche lieve sentore erbaceo, di macchia mediterranea. Bocca sountuosz, grasso e con una bella acidità, lunga persistenza e note tostate — 6 years ago

2013. Very pure, fresh and crunchy. Classic sangiovese red cherries and macchia mediterranea. A bit biscuity - coming from merlot, supposedly. Light-to-medium body, focused and balanced. Unfussy but utterly moreish. — 8 years ago

F Me Wine. Huh. Yup, this has me. Tobacco and oaky lovey goodness. Nothing about this wine says boring steady solid Barbera. It says, "Hey baby, let's make sweet sweet complex indigo berrilicious over and over grape love." And then you can't remember anything that is or was before. So Good. Can easily become my go-to over Macchia Mischievous. — 6 years ago

I like this. A little more floral than expected since it's a fiano Malvasia blend. Kinda tasted like flat prosecco (in a good way) — 7 years ago
