July 16, 2016 - 2016 Tasting at Produttori del Barbaresco with Aldo Vacca: This wine had been less than three months in bottle. Aldo described 2013 as "Just as good in Barbaresco as in Barolo". He noted that the grapes had ripened well by the end of the season and characterised the vintage as having great aromatics. Stick your nose in this and you'll agree: an attractive bouquet of meadow flowers, spices, raspberries, red cherries and other red fruited aromas. On palate, I preferred the 2013 to the recent 2012 Normale I drank ... It has glossy, bright, succulent red fruit, but they have retained good freshness and acidity. It's well balanced without the extra alcohol you might find in a 2011. "A classic vintage" said Aldo.
