Tasting Notes
Captivating aromas of red berries, roses, and a hint of earthiness on the nose. The palate unfolds with layers of cherry, tobacco, and spices, culminating in a refined and lingering finish. Barbaresco DOCG — 100% Nebbiolo from the village of Barbaresco south of Alba — is the more perfumed, earlier-drinking sibling of Barolo, with exceptional ageing potential and a characteristic tar-and-roses aromatic profile.
