Cantine Barbera 2008 Albamarina White (Sicilia)
- Online Exclusive
Cantine Barbera has produced a beautiful Passito dessert wine that shows feminine harmony and balance. The natural intensity is here; Aromas of apricot, honey, candied fruit and almond paste emerge with confidence from the nose. In the mouth, the wine is particularly sweet and smooth.

Cantine Barbera 2004 Nero d’Avola (Sicilia)
- $13
We have high hopes for these two young Sicilian sisters who are enthusiastically carrying out their winemaking dream. Although this un-oaked red hits the right spots, there is room for improvement. The aromas are young and sharp with cherry preserves, wet earth and white mushroom, but the mouthfeel is sticky. Imported by Enotec Imports, Inc.
