2006 Barbera Reserve – Barboursville Vineyard – Monticello, VA
$21.99
Barbera is an interesting Italian red, one I'm not an immense fan of but at least somewhat of a fan. It's got an interesting aroma of chocolate smell to it with a bit of an earthy quality I can't quite pin down. Then after taking a sip you get a really nice fruity raspberry flavour with a bit of a nice spice to it. If you are a fan of Sangiovese, Chianti or really any form of Italian red wine then you should like this one, but if not try it any ways it’s a pretty decent wine. And really any good red sauce pasta is great with this Barbera, it would also probably go quite well with lamb. It may be a bit pricey for some, but why not give it a try and who knows you might enjoy it.
If you would like to purchase this wine you can get it direct from the vineyard here. Remember to make sure they can ship to your state.
