Tenuta Olim Bauda Barbera d'Asti La Villa

Bright colour. Fresh ripe fruit. No great complexity but simply delicious and excellent value. Ready now.

Matured a little since the last bottle. Still bright cherry fruit but acidity reduced and more integrated. Delicious

This is a lean but pleasant barbera - good pizza wine or daily drinker. Carefree but genuine.

Extracted flavors of dark cherry, cocoa, and oak. Present tannins and a streak of acidity. Big and flavorful wine best served with food that can stand up to it; think BBQ, burgers, pizza.

Pale purple color with lots of red berry on the nose. A major fruit bomb on the palate and drinks like a beaujolais. Mild tannins and finish. Ok wine but have had much better QPR.

A simple, but generous barbera. It offers dark fruit and cherry on the nose with a generic dried herb component. The palate shows a full body with velvety tannins and a refreshing tartness. Lots of ripe dark fruit such as plum and blueberry finishing with a long herbal/chocolate encore. It is easy going stuff, great substitute for a new world merlot, but don't expect much complexity from this bottle. Drink now-2021

Trop cher pour ce que c’est.

Deeply coloured fresh red fruits on nose. Tightly wound on palate with broad fruit . Good structure. Delicious now but will improve over next two years

Nice to pizza, but not alone. Perhaps to young
