Barbera Wine

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...

jamessuckling.com, 92 points: A fruity and clean red with plenty of orange peel and chocolate undertones. Full body, dusty texture and a flavorful finish. Drink now.

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...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: The 2015 Barbera d'Alba will be released later this year in September. This is a darkly extracted expression from a warm vintage. Barbera loves the extra heat and the fruit within this wine expresses itself with cheerful...

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...

Vinous, 92 points: The 2013 Barbera Fox Hill Vineyard is another terrific wine, with a little more opulence and obvious ripeness than the other wines in the range. The inclusion of 100% whole clusters, unusual with Barbera, adds...
