This wine shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of garnet red,
moderate transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing, refined
and elegant aromas that start with hints of cherry, plum and violet
followed by aromas of licorice, menthol, tobacco, vanilla, chocolate,
cinnamon and mace. In the mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a
tannic attack and pleasing crispness, however balanced by alcohol, full
body, intense flavors, good tannins. The finish is persistent with flavors
of plum and cherry. A well made wine. This Barbaresco ages for 18-20
months in barrique.
