Jeb Dunnuck, 90 Points 

"A very appealing wine upfront, the 2021 Barbaresco offers wonderful clarity and freshness. Pouring a medium ruby color, the nose opens to notes of wild raspberries, rosy perfume, spiced orange, and dried herbs. Medium-bodied, it becomes more savory with a light gamey richness through the midpalate and finish. It has a compact, angular structure and should show its best over the next few years." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Estate vineyards are located in a natural amphitheater along the eastern edge of the appellation; this pure Nebbiolo combines fruit from the ‘Ronchi’ cru vineyard and from other estate vineyards. Aged for two years in large (20HL) Slavonian cask.  Aromas of black cherries, licorice, game, light smoke; full-bodied and concentrated yet balanced, with moderate tannins and good length." 

Alcohol: 14.5%
