Score 94/100 · Drink 2024-2038, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Feb 2022
The 2018 Barbaresco Ovello Vigna Loreto marries depth, energy and the pedigree of this site. There is real intensity here. Firm Ovello tannins wrap around sweet red cherry, leather, spice, menthol and licorice. Bright saline notes and piercing young Nebbiolo tannins extend the finish effortlessly. This is a super-classic expression of Ovello.

Barbaresco. Tasted blind. Just mid ruby with orange tinges. Firm cherry nose with hints of exotic spice and wild strawberry. Cough syrup. Succulent cherry fruit with gripping, ripe tannins. Long, juicy and multi-layered. (WS)
