A traditional Barbaresco, it is garnet red in colour with ruby highlights, and has an ethereal nose with rose and violet, red fruit jam, raspberry and also vanilla, nutmeg, white pepper and aniseed aromas. It is full-bodied in the mouth, with tannins which never predominate, and is balanced and long lasting.
Like Barolo, Barbaresco needs time to express its potential to the full. The total ageing period is 26 months, of which 9 in medium sized oak barrels. During this period the wine’s polyphenols evolve considerably, and Barbaresco obtains a perfect balance between power and grace. Ageing potential is 10 to 15 years depending on vintage.
