A staggering Barbera in all respects, this saturated dark ruby/purple-colored wine offers up a sweet nose of vanillin, red and black fruits, and spices. Full-bodied, with layers of concentrated fruit, impressive purity, and a finish that lasts for at least 40 seconds, this great effort should drink well for 10-12 years. Readers who are unwilling to splurge on a $60-$75 bottle of Barbaresco or Barolo should take a look at this stunning Barbera. It offers spectacular quality.

Given his international reputation for Barbarescos, it is easy to forget that Gaja produces one of Italy's finest Barberas. The 1989 Barbera-Vignarey reveals a dense purple color, and a moderately intense perfume of black fruits and toast. It vividly displays the great ripeness achieved in this vintage. Drink this opulent wine over the next 7-10 years. Importer: Vinifera Imports, Ronkonkoma, NY.

Dominated by oak, but sweet and spicy. A rich, round wine that keeps pumping flavor on the long finish. Has jammy blackberry and plum flavors shaded by cedar and chocolate that squeeze between the tannin and crisp acidity. Cellar until 1994. 780 cases made.??–null??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barbera d'Alba Select to Add
