What to Expect

Barbaresco is a wine that shares much with its close neighbor Barolo. Both are made with the Nebbiolo grape and from nearly contiguous plots of vines in Piedmont. The slightly warmer climate of Barbaresco, and resulting earlier harvest, makes these wines a touch lighter and less complex than Barolo, if more elegant and earlier maturing. They share much the same flavor profile with their siblings though tend to be less intense.

Wine Skinny

Tasty, with medium-bodied fruit that includes juicy red cherry and blackberry. Good earthiness and spice on the finish. Ready to drink now and over the next couple of years.
