I've not tried that one. I had an Italian one the other day Barbera D'Asti 2018. Was ok,drinkable.
I'd still prefer Dunnes stuff

Which Barbera was it?

I love barbera d’asti, but I prefer the 13.0-13.5% lighter end of the scale with them as you can actually taste everything going on. They alcohol content of them has really gone up in the last few years so most are now 14-14.5% fruit bombs

Ah, it’s grand if you’re just looking for some reasonable comment in general and don’t want the red tops

Nah its completely shit.

This is 13.5. Superiore. The rest is in Italian. Black bottle with a sun in the middle, a kind of stylised sun. I'll see if I can find it online

Looks decent GBOS, right up my alley if it’s a decent one

It's a cheap enough wine HonkY but it's not harsh or vinegar like. It's definitely one of the better cheap reds. Don't expect to be blown away or anything but tis grand,mellow

I enjoyed the hell out of this. Went well with the gnocchi too.
