The Armida winemakers have already wooted a Barbera, from their La Famiglia vineyard in Snows Lake. Armida is particularly well-known on woot for their Poizin, so we have a good idea of their winemaking philosophy and style (big, bold, spicy, alcohol) even though that’s another wine. Previous woots:

For the previous vintage of this Barbera, a comment on CT says “Wow, this is a big, bold, huge wine with tons of dark fruit on the nose and palate. Nice long finish. A bit hot (high alcohol) or I would have scored it even higher.”
