Aromas of white pepper, red cherry, raspberry, roses, mint, fennel pollen, a little camphor, raw red meat and cinnamon... a bit weird, but the white pepper note is so strong that I could definitely see guessing young Schioppettino in a blind tasting... On the palate this is quite supple and polished for young Barbaresco, the fruit is pristine and intense, tannins grip firmly but are very fine and composed, a delectable marzipan note mingles with fruit and flowers to make for a gorgeous inner perfume. Long finish features notes of perfect red cherry, flowers, mint, and peppery herbs. Primary and energetic, this needs another couple years to flesh out. Should be worth following 10+ at least. Banger Barbaresco.

This is a great entrylevel effort. Lacking a little in expressiveness, and somewhat angular. I think a year or two will help, but this isnt closed atm. Drink or hold.

Intense ruby red colour with garnet tints. Dark cherry, vanilla and tobacco on the nose with oaky notes. Cherries, red berries and earthy notes in the taste. Velvety, elegant and balanced wine with structure and power behind it. Eager to taste after couple of years.
