Wine EnthusiastFruity aromas of wild berry and plum mingle with whiffs of ground pepper on this delightfully easy-drinking red. The aromas carry over to the fresh, soft palate along with supple tannins. Drink in the next year or two to enjoy the juicy fruit.

Wine AdvocateThe 2017 Piemonte Barbera Briccotondo is a great find for value hunters. It is sticky and rich, easygoing and ripe. Pair it with roast chicken cacciatore. The wine should be easy to find with a whopping 500,000 bottles made.
