Wine Enthusiast, 96 Points 

"Full-bodied and delicious, this opens with aromas of raspberry compote, camphor and pipe tobacco. The palate boasts concentrated flavors but also a weightless elegance and energy, delivering dried Morello cherry, blood orange, licorice and baking spice alongside tightly woven, velvety tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it well-balanced. Drink 2024–2032." 

Wine Advocate, 94 Points 

"Fruit from Albesani shows nice sharpness and a compact or complete profile that is typical of Nebbiolo. This site has fared well in this hot and dry vintage with intact aromas of wild berry, mineral and blue violets. The Cantina del Pino 2017 Barbaresco Albesani turns in a strong showing in terms of aromas but tapers out a bit in the palate. In this release of 3,000 bottles, the wine is driven largely by the textural and structural power of the vintage, and the fruit is a bit leaner on the finish right now. It will likely flesh out with time." 

Wine Spectator, 92 Points 

"Broad and evoking macerated cherry, strawberry and earth flavors, with accents of underbrush and tar. Fleshy and vibrant, with a base of dusty, chalky tannins underneath. Best from 2025 through 2042. 250 cases made, 180 cases imported." 

Vinous, 90 Points 

"The 2017 Barbaresco Albesani is an attractive wine, but it is also heavily marked by the personality of the vintage, which is not entirely surprising given its well-exposed, south-facing exposure. Ripe dark fruit, macerated cherry, spice, flowers and high-toned accents are some of the signatures. I am very curious to see where this goes in time."
