The Story
100% Nebbiolo. A benchmark vintage for Barbaresco: long, balanced growing season with ideal ripening conditions. Wines are structured, complex, and age-worthy — combining power and finesse. Medium garnet with brick-orange hues at the rim, showing graceful evolution while retaining vibrancy. Elegant, layered, and aromatic, with tertiary complexity beginning to unfold: dried red cherry, raspberry compote, and wild strawberry, rose petal, dried violet, anise, and sweet tobacco...Tertiary developments include truffle, leather, cedar, balsamic notes, and a touch of underbrush
Beautifully mature, yet still fresh and expressive. The palate is harmonious and deep, with a refined structure: medium to full-bodied with supple richness. Firm yet velvety tannins — fully integrated but still providing grip and longevity. Vibrant and well-balanced acidity, providing energy and lift. Layered notes of red currant, dried cherry, orange peel, licorice, forest floor, and subtle spice. Silky texture with a graceful, seamless progression across the palate. This mature Riserva pairs beautifully with: braised beef or veal (e.g., stracotto or brasato al Barbaresco), porcini risotto, and game birds or lamb shank.
