We love a good Barbera deal here at Reverse Wine Snob!
While a lot of the very popular examples we've offered in the past have been from California, today we go straight to the source (Piedmont) for a 100% Barbera that will go amazing with pizza and lots of other Italian foods.
If you love this variety like we do, you're going to want to stock up on this one for the fall.
Let's learn some more about the region and the winery behind this wine, La Bollina:
Monferrato sits at an important intersection in NW Italy and Southern Europe. Protected by the Alps to the North and the Mediterranean sea to the south, the area has long been a seat of European power dating back to the Holy Roman empire. Today, food and wine are focal points of the economy. The larger Monferrato area encompasses well know regions including Alba and Asti. If you've ever had authentic white truffles, they are often foraged in this special area every October.
La Bollina Winery is one to watch. This impressive Italian estate is creating innovative, fun, amazing value wines. Thanks to its high-quality and uniqueness, this winery has quickly become Luca Maroni's darling, who has blessed it with impressive reviews year after year.
La Bollina is located in Serravalle Scrivia AL, Italy. A municipality in the province of Alessandria, about 62 miles southeast of Turin. This historical territory was for centuries the residence of the Marchioness Figari of Genova. A 300-acre winery, surrounded by hills and chestnut forests, is where La Bollina's magnificent wines are born.
Andrea Bernardini, La Bollina's consultant, is a passionate winemaker who has hit numerous home runs. In 2007, he graduated from Pisa, one of the best schools of enology in Italy. He earned his chops at Poggio Bonelli and Ruffino in Tuscany and trained in South Africa, Romania and Greece. After several years of experience, he is now a flying winemaker blending tradition and modern techniques to obtain high-quality wines with respect to the expression of the different grapes and terroir in which he works.
With an SRP of $35, this is not an inexpensive wine, but today we've slashed that price by XX%!

From the winery:
This wine is 100% Barbera, produced by La Bollina. This amazing, easy-to-drink wine will become your new go-to. It is truly a wine to experience and enjoy. With 96 points, this wine is one of Luca Maroni's "Best Italian Wines" of the vintage.
Tasting Notes: This is 100% Barbera. Mostly stainless with a touch of oak, allows the fruit to shine. If you love figs, blueberry, and blackberry flavors with a tense backbone of smooth tannins, and mocha, then you'll love this wine.
13.5% Alcohol

The 2020 Pomaro Monferrato Rosso Piemonte Barbera from La Bollina opens with quite an attractive aroma of blackberry, red and black cherry and a little spice.
Tasting the wine reveals deep, rich, tart dark fruit flavors similar to the nose with just the right touch of spice plus a little licorice. With a smooth mouthfeel this is a delicious example of this variety, coming straight from the source (Piedmont). If you've gotten in on any of our California Barbera deals, it makes a great comparison point.
We drank it with a pizza and it worked wonderfully. It will also pair great with pretty much anything in red sauce, lots of different cheeses and salami.
It ends dry, a bit chewy and quite long and was just as good on day 2.
The Italian wine critic Luca Maroni scores this wine at 96 points. We're not huge fans of his rating scale, which is quite different than the one used by most reviewers, but this is a very good wine. We'll put it right in the middle of our 9 Taste Rating, which translates to 92 points on the traditional 100-point scale.

"Opened a bottle - incredible! "
"love them all so far...Glad we ran across you. Too bad we can not order them all. "
"Hey Jon! You do great work. I've bought a bunch of the Insider Deals and probably 80% of the wine I drink comes from them. Great values! "
"Jon, this is a wonderful wine all around. You have become our go-to person for wonderful wines and wine values. Please keep up the excellent job that you're doing! Regards, a very satisfied customer. "

"Hi Jon, well, I did something people have warned about - bought 6 bottles and should have bought 12!"
"Have had nothing but great bottles since I started ordering your recommendations. Thanks so much! "
"We've gotten in on three of the deals and have been VERY happy with the value. I originally was going to do a wine club thing but the insider deal appeals to me much more."
"The shipping on the Insider Deals is another great part of the deal. We recently paid $27 to a winery in California to ship 6 bottles (same packaging as the insider deals)....yikes!"
"Just got my 6 bottles and having my first glass. WHY, WHY didn't I buy a case??!!"
"I really missed the boat by only getting four bottles of this offer last month. Should have bought least at a case."
"My wife and I have really enjoyed getting to know new wines (and better than we used to buy!) Thanks for what you do and providing this service!"
