Tasting notes
Good bright, deep red. Dark cherry, currant, leather and nutty oak on the nose. Juicy and sappy with extract, showing a pungent freshness to the flavors of cherry and dried rose. Firm acids and building tannins give this dense Barbaresco excellent backbone. This still needs a few years in the bottle.
