Here’s a pleasantly fresh and fruit-forward Barbera d’Asti with notes of wild berry and blackberry backed by a delicate touch of vanilla spice and bitter chocolate. Aromas of smoked bacon fill in the rear and give the wine a long-lasting and penetrating finish.

I liked this vineyard-designate wine better than the producer’s Clartè Moscato d’Asti (from an east-facing vineyard) thanks to its truly gorgeous and feminine nose. It is delicate and floral and the word “pretty” sums it up just right. Great for a romantic picnic in the park. Imported by Vieux Vins, Inc.

Here’s a thickly extracted and dense interpretation of Barbera lavished over with intense secondary aromas of oaky spice and toasted wood. There’s a lot of wood here that is offputting at first but that will hopefully find harmony with more years in the bottle.

Less intense than the other samples, but once you dig your nose into theglass those fresh peach and soapy notes translate into a correct and genuine Moscato d’Asti. Crisp and peachy in the mouth. Imported by Vieux Vins, Inc.
