2011 Barbera
Appellation: Shenandoah Valley AVA
By: Andis Wines
In: Amador County, CA
Winestyr Review
Barbera is one of Italy's top grape varieties, and has just recently started being cultivated in the U.S. It's known for producing wines with a lot of fruit and acid and not much tannins - and this wine definitely fits that description. One to pick up to expand your palate.
What We Love
- Great food wine
- Great value
- Amador County
Buy this Barbera (typical Italian varietal) if you like mouthwatering wines with lots of fruit balanced with some nice wood and spice
Experience
Andis is located in Amador County.
Winery
Andis Wines is a passion project created by two successful entrepreneurs from Hawaii, Andy Friedlander and Janis Akuna. In 2010, they quickly began producing some of the most interesting wines that we've tasted to date. The winery focuses on seeking out the best vineyards in the Sierra Foothills to craft delicious, complex wines. If you haven't tried wines from Amador County, these will open your eyes to the up and coming growing region outside of Sacramento. We'd compare it to Napa...30 years ago. Enjoy!
