About the wine
Wine of the Week
- Lush and fruity with a nice little zing -- these are the characteristics that made Barbera one of the top 3 most planted grapes in Italy.
- And even though parts of California have the perfect growing conditions, Barbera hasn't really made it big in the US yet (less than 1% of California's vineyards are planted with Barbera!) As always, Angels are ahead of the curve and get great value.
- If you like Italian food with a big bowl of red sauce and a big glass of red wine, Barbera is perfect. It's got the zing to accompany all those tomatoes!

Meet the winemaker - Jim Olsen
Years Angel-funded: 2012-18
- Jim didn't just study wine at the University of California, he taught about it for 30 years.
- Before Naked, he worked mainstream jobs like La Crema and held quirkier side gigs - like growing Portuguese grapes in Californian soil.
- Jim spent decades in California cellars. At Naked, he found the most surprising deals for Angels - delighting you with Winemaker Fantasy wines (like White Barbera!) as a true champion of the rare varieties and vineyards in the state.
