Written Notes

The 2016 Barbaresco showed beautifully, with a classical yet seductive and sweetly fruited style that's going to evolve gracefully. Medium ruby-hued, with a core of sweet red fruits balanced by classic dried flowers, licorice, asphalt, and medicinal herbs, it hits the palate with medium-bodied richness that carries impress sweet fruit as well as building tannins. Barbaresco doesn't get more classic, and while it has a sunny, sweetly fruited style, it also has ample underlying tannins and structure, so give bottles 4-5 years. It should deliver the goods for two decades or more.

This is all about finesse with power. Such great length here with ever so refined tannins and precise strawberry, cedar, dried-rose and mineral character. Medium body. Fresh and vivid finish. Hard not to drink now, but wait until at least 2021.

A blend from fourteen vineyards, a clear mission for a Barbaresco version which almost reaches perfection. Very low yields, a nearly crunchy fruit.
A great richness on the nose with aromas of vanilla, boisé notes, flower petals and fruits of undergrowth. The mouthfeel is stunning on the take-off, then it becomes majestic thanks to a very long, sweet and perfect balance.
