Community Tasting Note

HowardNZ Likes this wine:

Friday, July 3, 2015 - 2015 Tasting at Produttori del Barbaresco with Aldo Vacca: Ovello is the northernmost vineyard, the highest and coolest, with the soil rich in clay. A lifted, very pretty nose, the most floral on the table. Spicy red cherries and red roses. Almost a Vosne Romanee-like bouquet. On palate, svelte and sexy. Quite silky with fine grained tannins. Good acidity here. As a northern, high and cool vineyard, this site often does well in a warmer year like 2011. But the Ovello is not a light bodied wine - it has substantial, serious tannins and real fruit weight, structure and power. I liked the Ovello very much.
