Description / Reviews
"The Barbera d’Alba D.O.C. is consistent expression of this local eclectic grape. Vinification and aging occure in stainless steel to purely deliver its character. Barbera varietal requires sunny exposure and well-drained soil as well as low yields to develop richness and complexity. Therefore it’s planted just in the most suitable exposure where we can reach the best maturity. Floral, elegant and expressive aromatics, high toned texture, harmonious and lively acidity." - Negociants, Importer
"Scavino's 2024 Barbera d'Alba is a classy, polished wine. Succulent dark cherry, plum, espresso, licorice and spice all race across the palate in a sumptuous Barbera that offers uncommon richness for the vintage. All the elements are so well balanced. This is a fabulous wine, especially for the year." - 91 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous
"The 2023 Barbera d'Alba is a delight. Bold, juicy and bursting with fruit, Scavino's Barbera is a delicious everyday red to drink now and over the next few years. A burst of super-ripe dark cherry/plum fruit, sweet spice, leather and licorice punctuates the exuberant finish." - Antonio Galloni, Vinous (2023 Vintage)
