  The wine shows a deeper floral character, ripe red fruit, a bit vegetal that adds freshness, shows depth and complexity.
  In the palate, the wine shows the same style, deep and dense, fruit core, almost black fruit, a bit earthy, herbal, a touch of oak and spice, medium body, medium to long acidity, long finish

• 2014 Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco Riserva Asili

  Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barbaresco

  Beautiful welcoming nose, almost decadent, pure fruit, currant, cherries, spice and incense, touch pot pouri.
  Palate much different, high tannins, medium acidity, red fruit, red currant, earthy, mineral, this is a very “classic” Barbaresco, dry, intense, very youthful with long finish.
  Mighty impressive

• 2014 Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco Riserva Ovello

  Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barbaresco

  Entirely different than Asili tried before, bigger, bolder, the fruit is denser, shows depth, black fruit
  In the palate, the wine shows again a deeper core, the fruit is blacker, earthier, a bit harsh tannins, high acidity, big body, long finish.
  It’s a powerful structured wine that will require years to calm down. Outstanding quality

• 2014 Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco Riserva Montestefano

  Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barbaresco

  Deeper and different to Montefico, heautiful fresh red cherries, showing tar and a more violet character, a touch smoke, herbal notes, extrovert, big and beautiful
  More elegant than feared, ripe red cherries, high acidity, loads of tannins, big body, closer to Barolo than all the others, long finish

• 2014 Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco Riserva Rabajà

  Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barbaresco

  The most concentrated of then all, deep fruit core, showing depth and complexity, floral notes, ripe blue and black fruit, a touch smoke, earthy and oaky
  In the palate, the wine shows high concentration, high acidity, mineral, less tannic than Montestefano but more explosive palate overall, by far the most complex, beautiful ripe fresh red fruit elevating the long finish.
  Outstanding quality
