Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 94 points: A huge, thrilling wine, the 2011 Barbera del Monferrato Superiore Bricco Battista is endowed with magnificent depth and tons of personality. Layers of intense Barbera fruit burst from the glass in a racy, opulent wine...
Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 93 points: Dark red cherries, spices, new leather and menthol are woven together in the 2012 Barbera del Monferrato Giulin. Hints of lavender and violets develop in the glass, adding attractive floral overtones. The combination of...
Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 94 points: Vietti's 2012 Barbera d'Alba Scarrone Vigna Vecchia is all about texture. Layers of dark red cherry, plum, smoke, licorice and menthol all open up in the glass. The Vigna Vecchia is richer, deeper and more explosive than...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: The 2009 Langhe Larigi (Barbera) comes across as a bit understated. Dark plums cherries leather and licorice meld together nicely in the glass. Today the 2009 doesn't quite have the opulence or radiance of many wines in...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 91 points: 91+ Very dark ruby red. Lively violet and dark berry aromas. Penetrating but supple; very bright flavor of dark berries complicated by spicy oak. Finishes very long, with dusty wood tannins. Very limited availability.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 91 points: This wine was produced in 2012, but the Giacosa family decided to skip over the very difficult 2013 (especially difficult for Barbera) vintage. The 2014 Barbera d'Alba Falletto is made with estate fruit and shows the...
Wine Spectator, 90 points: Light vanilla and toast notes lead off in this red, whose blackberry, black cherry, leather and earth flavors are pure, racy and long. Offers a fine grip of tannins on the finish. Drink now through 2019. 1,000 cases...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: The Barbera of the house has become a legend in its short lifetime (the first vintage was 1996), and the 2000 Barbera d’Alba Riserva Vigneto Pozzo lives up to its fame. The customary inky ruby/purple, its stupefying rich...
