  Tasted at a local shop with a winery rep from the family. Light to medium garnet. Pretty high tannin and acid. Seems structured to age a moderate amount of time. Nice mid weight texture but full of flavor. Classic traditional Barbaresco. Roses, cherry earthy with hints of tar. Medium long finish is the only current downside. Leans toward the elegant side of the spectrum. Probably best 8-20 years old.

  Fantastic barbaresco - imagine this will get even better with time. I've preferred the produttori wines to this so far, but would never turn a bottle down.

  An elegant Barbaresco.
  Lovely cherry-cranberry red color in the glass with mild red fruit aromas upon decanting.
  On the palate, complex and layered fruit flavor taste sensations with a medium-bodied mouthfeel.
  Good acidity with smooth finish.
  This classic Barbaresco is very approachable….and ready to be enjoyed.

  A classic Barbaresco from Piedmont.
  Rich red color (transparent) in the glass with luscious aromas of ripe cherries and raspberries with a hint of leather and tobacco.
  On the front of palate, lovely complex texture of the wine’s fruit flavors with extremely well-behaved tannins and acidity that is engaging at mid-palate through the finish. Balance and elegance of taste epitomize this wine.
