Overall, decent. Classic nebbiolo in aroma and taste. Floral aromas with spice, tar, licorice and sour cherry on the palate. Definitely in acidic wine, but not too overpowering. Tannins are right where they should be. Are there better better barbarescos, of course. Nonetheless, this is definitely a crowd pleaser and great with food.

1 of 2, decanted and immediately served at c14C. Medium garnet core, pale garnet rim. Thus is fragrant, floral, red cherries, quite spicy - hint of ginger. Medium bodied, red cherry, spice, quite savoury too - soft tannins, fresh/vibrant acids, decent length finish with a burst of pure red fruit. This is very good indeed, and whilst it will certainly keep its very approachable now with no firm edges or sense of being tight or closed.

light color like other barbarescos. tasted young, and not ready to drink. The Ovello was smoother (2017). Consider cellaring? preferred the bruno Rocca which tasted sweeter. Purchased for 45 from Mission Wine & Spirits in Glendale.
