Wine Enthusiast, 92 Points 

"Imagine plucking strawberries and raspberries straight from the bush, their freshness and tartness filling the air. Accompanying this fruit-forward bouquet are hints of wild herbs, evoking a walk through a forest, with touches of pine in the breeze. The palate is a nod to the classics, with those tart wild berries taking center stage. The fine tannins are like a gentle reminder that this wine is meant for pairing—think a rustic mushroom risotto or a herb-crusted rack of lamb. Drink from 2025." 

Vinous, 90 Points 

"Sweet dried cherry, rose petals, candied cherry, cinnamon and dried flowers all grace this decidedly understated, mid-weight 2020 Barbaresco from Ovello. Pretty floral and savory notes typical of this site open nicely with aeration." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Ruby red intense colour with an edge of pomegranate with a soft scent of prune, fruits of the forest with a note of mint....elegant with a good tannins, soft and silky, balanced with fresh acidity and an intriguing scent of balsamic.”
