Bursting with violet, blackberry and pomegranate flavors, this red also has a firm base of tannins. A pleasant astringency lines the finish. Drink now through 2018. 11,650 cases made. –BS

Vinous Review: 88 points
The 2012 Barbera d’Asti is juicy, expressive and beautiful. Plum, black cherry, licorice and mocha notes flesh out on the caressing, inviting finish. This immediate, juicy Barbera is an excellent choice for drinking over the next few years.
