Barbera along with Pinot Noir is one the most versatile wines to pair with food. I like traditional ones best as some of the ultra-modern versions get more fat and are dominated by oak but that's more a matter of taste. Vietti got a good one, Tre Vigne, for around $ 16. Giacomo Conterno has one of the best, Cascina Francia, for around $ 45. I’ve long been a champion of Barbera. Barbera along with Pinot Noir is one the most versatile wines to pair with food.

An exception is Farina which has a good selection. They even have lots of different types of grappa. They also have limoncello.
