I asked my local wine merchant for something different and he pointed me to an un-oaked (this wine) and an oaked (next review) Barbera from Italia. This wine was very nice. Yeah, I know, "nice" isn't really a descriptive word for wine - but that is what it was. Nothing complex. Fruit forward, but certainly not sweet. More flavors came through toward the end. Given my oak-phobia, I'm guessing this wine will beat out the oaked one - but we'll see. Oh - geez I almost forgot -this one was in the $10 range - you weren't expecting anything else.
