Gran bel Barbaresco Non é il classico nebbiolo ma ha una bella struttura. Corposo. Al naso sentori di frutti neri maturi. Soprattutto ciliegia nera e prugna. Poi con il tempo escono quelle piccole note legnose con qualche tocco di tabacco vanigliato. Tannini e acidità ben incorporati. Finale molto rotondo. Un bel vino… non me lo aspettavo!

Tasted at the winery. Lovely, near weightless mouthfeel upon entry, but then this fans out, its silky character emerges. An excellent example of what good winegrowing can achieve in a less than ideal vintage. Above-average balance, acidity/structure and length. Excellent effort, and very satisfying. 14,5% abv. (resolved), drink now with air or thru 2028.
PnP, served non-blind.
(edit: the restoration of Vanotu's house is looking great, should be another year or so)

Twenty months in mainly new barrique. Darker than Tulin. Despite the oak the fruit predominates in the bouquet. Herb (sage?). Lots of spicy beautiful fruit. Exotic! Long.

A complex and delicious Barbaresco. Needs a lot of air. Ready to drink now and for the next six years.
