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.

Took a little while to open up, but when it did it was a beautiful, full bodied wine with a rich deep flavor. The tannins were really not very strong, but it was still a rich wine. Great with steak.

Red fruit, tobacco, earth, spice. Great structure with firm tannins. Very smooth and accessible.
