Barbariccia 2022
Barbariccia is our Italian Super Tuscan blend. Aromas of chicory, coffee, roasted hazelnuts, and black cherry. The palate has bright black cherry, oregano, sage, and rosemary. Medium bodied, lighter tannin. Aged in neutral oak.
We pair Barbariccia with grilled meats & saucy dishes. A dream with lasagna!

The 2022 Aniche Cellars Barbariccia Sangiovese from the Columbia Valley is crafted from 90% Sangiovese and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Its ruby hue with a violet rim introduces aromas of red currant, blood orange, dried lavender, and warm spice. The palate is lively and energetic, delivering layers of sour cherry, pomegranate, and citrus peel supported by brisk acidity. Notes of clove and tea leaf weave through the fruit, giving added depth and intrigue. Full-bodied, yet bright in character, it closes with a long, fruit-driven finish. 324 cases produced.

"Sangiovese (90%) makes up most of this wine, with the rest Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. The aromas pop, with notes of raspberry, macerated cranberry, herb, and red currant. Plush, energized red fruit flavors follow. It’s lovely. 14.5% alcohol. TCA-free micro-agglomerated cork. 324 cases produced." NW Wine Report, Sean P. Sullivan.
