A delicate Barbaresco with aromas of strawberries, red currants and flowers. Better on the palate, with structured fruit, moderate acidity, a medium body and firm, dusty, austere tannins. Stern on the finish. Try after 2025.

Like opening an antique jewelry box lined in velvet, this Barbaresco reveals its treasures with understated charm. Delicate rose petals and wild strawberries float above darker notes of black cherries and forest floor. The structure shows refinement through and through, with polished tannins providing architecture without severity. A beautiful balance of power and elegance that whispers rather than shouts.
