91 Points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate!
The 2022 Barbera is scented of sour cherries, Italian plum, orange peel, wildflowerrs and earthy undertones. The light-bodied palate has a core of perfumed red fruit, chalky tannins, fireworks of fresh acidity and a long, spicy finish. This is very easy to drink! 317 cases were made. — Eriin Brooks, November 2023
Tasting Notes: Aroma of rosemary, seared meat, road dust and jolly rancher. On the palate, sour cherry, white pepper, fennel with a dusty and rustic texture.
Barbera: Barbera is a variety that hails from Piedmont in the Northwest corner of Italy. Although packed with character, it often plays "second fiddle" to the more noble and pensive Nebbiolo of the same region. Filled with zest and juiciness, Barbera grapes yield a wine that satisfies much of northern Italy's thirst for a delicious daily drinker. Giornata's goal with the variety is to craft a light-bodied wine that is at once pleasurable but also intriguing. In order to achieve this, they encourage relatively high yields in the vineyard and age the resulting wine for only a few months before bottling in late Winter or early Spring. This captures the exuberant, juicy and fresh fruit character of perfectly ripe Barbera
