"Forest floor, dark-skinned berry, pipe tobacco and French oak aromas shape the nose. On the linear, full-bodied palate, tight, fine-grained tannins support dried cherry, blood orange, licorice, vanilla and a drop of espresso. It's balanced, with fresh acidity. Drink through 2036."

Tasting Notes

From Family-owned vineyards in Treiso (Il Bricco,San Stefanetto and Bongiovanni) and in San Rocco Seno d’Elvio (Rocche di Massalupo). This wine has been always and traditionally produced by the Family from grapes coming from different locations within Barbaresco appellation. This is the classic “formula” used by the ancient Barbaresco families to produce a wine which embraces and combines each of the unique characteristics of the different vineyards and terroirs of the Barbaresco area.

 

A very classical style Barbaresco: elegance and velvety, with ripe and spicy fruit. Strong tannins, but elegant. Good structure and concentration. Very long life.
Barbaresco is a great wine it should not be described as a “basic” or “regular” Barbaresco, simply because it does not have any additional indication on the label.
