Another good find for me since I tend to really like Italian wines.
Medium to full-bodied with darker berry fruits up front, good balance and some acidity,while finishing slightly dry. Really doesn’t have much in the tannin department, which I guess is expected for a Barbera, so I”m told.
This is another good house wine to have around, for sure. Not going to blow anyone away, but can be opened to drink on its own, or had with food. I could see this wine pairing nicely with any tomato based pasta, or other acidic foods, like the salsa I’m currently eating, or the pizza I will be having in an hour.
When I opened it last night it seemed a bit fruitier than it is after an evening in the fridge, but it’s coming around again
Here’s a link to the Wine Wave review/site that imported this wine. As an aside, I’m noticing a lot of these Italian and Spanish wines at GO Oakland are Wine Wave imports.
I happened to purchase a few bottles of a Kermit Lynch Barbera this week during a sale they were having at $7.99, and this wine is better, for what that’s worth.
