91 Points – #61 Wine of the Year, Wine Spectator (2022) 

The 2020 Damilano Barbera d’Asti is a force to be reckoned with, a big, juicy wine with a pretty modest price tag. Utilizing fruit from an 11-hectare vineyard in Casorzo, with the average vine age of over 30 years, their Barbera is inky black to the rim with great depth and lots of purple and black fruited flavors. The aromas are intense, a wonderful mix of black fruits, currants, macerated cherries and baking spices. And the balance and poise steal the show and seal the deal.
