“It's easy sometimes to get carried away with analyzing wines: the structure, complexity, ageability, points, scores, stars. We look to the rational, left side of our brains to tell us whether or not a wine is good. Wine, however, is about pleasure, which should trip the switch of our emotional centers and light up the cells of your right brain. There's no question which side this barbera from Brovia appeals to. This has aromas of bright red fruit entice from the start, with soft dark fruit on the palate and just the right tannic edge. A pure expression of grape and place, it's fresh and eminently gulpable. Once you start sipping you won't want to stop. It's an easy wine to love, one to keep by the case and pull out for effortless casual dinners with.”

"The Barbera d'Alba Sorì del Drago is a terrific wine with a bright and fruity personality that nicely reflects the best characteristics of this warm vintage. The wine opens to dark fruit layering, with black fruit tones that segue to succulent plum, spice and sweet tobacco. The results are elegant and exuberant at the same time."— RobertParker.com Previous Vintage Review
