Wine EnthusiastThis tightly knit red has aromas of licorice, violet, raspberry jam and oak-driven spice. The firmly structured palate is still young and shy, offering pomegranate, star anise and clove alongside taut, fine-grained, drying tannins and bright acidity. Drink 2027–2034.
Barbaresco is Barolo’s elegant cousin, also born from the Nebbiolo grape in the scenic hills of Piedmont, Italy. While it shares Barolo’s gorgeous notes of roses, cherries, and earthy spice, Barbaresco is typically lighter in body, silkier in texture, and a bit more graceful on the palate. Thanks to slightly different soils and a warmer microclimate, it ripens earlier and can be enjoyed younger, though top examples still age beautifully. It’s a wine of finesse rather than brute power, offering layers of complexity without overwhelming tannins. Pair it with mushroom risotto, roasted meats, or a wedge of aged cheese, and taste why Barbaresco remains one of Italy’s most cherished—and sometimes underestimated—gems.
Nebbiolo is a red wine grape primarily cultivated in the Piedmont region of northwest Italy. This grape is renowned for producing some of Italy's most prestigious wines, including Barolo and Barbaresco. Nebbiolo wines are characterized by high acidity, firm tannins, and complex flavors that often include red fruit notes like cherry and raspberry, along with floral and tar-like aromas. These wines are known for their aging potential, developing greater complexity, softer tannins, and a brick-orange hue as they mature. Nebbiolo's expression can vary across different vineyard sites, showcasing the influence of terroir on its character. While it requires patience due to its tannic structure, Nebbiolo rewards wine enthusiasts with a remarkable combination of elegance and power, making it a celebrated varietal in the world of fine Italian wines.
