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.

ruby purple in colour, lots of flavours of dark fruit, with a sweetish finish. Missing the usual tobacco, leather and violet flavors in most barbaresco. The tannins are sweet so the wine is approachable now but will age for atleast 5 years
