| 75 | | | 92 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | This is a full-bodied Barbera, with a deep ruby-red color, a spicy dark fruit aroma, and a lively, tangy acid core, typical of the grape, that runs right through the fruit, ensuring a long finish and a delicious fruit-filled close. As the wine opens, the aromas develop a cinnamon candy-candied apple nose. Silky, smooth tannins frame the fruit. Grape type: Barbera. Excellent, really, and a supremely fine value. Serve somewhat cool, about 60ºF/15ºC, in tall tulip-shaped glasses. Foods: Likes earthy, full-flavored, somewhat rustic dishes, such as pasta salad with smoked mozzarella, garlic and cream; rough-textured terrines (rather than smooth pâtés); smoked meats and chicken; white beans (cannelini) with tomato and garlic; meatballs with mushrooms and tomato; chicken cacciatore; creamy blue cheese (gorgonzola dolce); dark chocolate.
