James Suckling

A very refined and pretty red with cherry and floral aromas and flavors. Medium to light body with lovely intensity and brightness. Pretty finish. Very floral. So drinkable now.

Wine Spectator

A silky red, this is woven with macerated cherry and berry flavors, accented by tar and a hint of white pepper. Open and approachable, with fine balance and length. Drink now.

Description

Carefully selected grapes were brought to the cellar, destemmed and crushed. Maceration on the skins lasted for a period of approximately 8 days at a temperature that did not exceed 30 °C (86 °F). Malolactic fermentation was completed before the end of winter. Barbaresco was aged in oak barrels of varying capacities for approximately one year.

Barbaresco 2018 is an intense garnet red color. Its nose is complex with aromas of red fruit and spicy notes. The palate is full and velvety with a persistent finish.

Nebbiolo

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.
