Mellow, smooth and lightly spicy, this wine is well balanced and polished. It shows lots of berry flavors plus a bit of cedar and cinnamon while cleansing the palate with good fruit acidity and light tannins.

This toasty Barbera has small amounts of Syrah and Carignane blended in, giving it a dryness that somewhat overshadows the fruit, which is more ripe blackberry than anything else. A good go-to for pizza night; drink it slightly chilled and soon.

A round, robust Barbera from winemaker Greg Graziano, this has detailed layers of blackberry and currant, with soft tannins and a toasty finish. Pair this selection with something savory, like a stew, and anything made with mushrooms and Parmesan.
