One of the most impressive Barolo/Barbaresco values we’ve uncovered in years. The fruit is all from Barbaresco’s prime Rabaja vineyard – with Asili and Ovello, the best site in the entire region. Winemaking is dead simple: hand harvested fruit is sorted and destemmed, allowed to ferment and gain color/flavor over 30 days and then aged for 18 months in older large and small Slavonian oak casks. In 2019, this is delicious from first sip with aromas and flavors of brilliant strawberry/cherry fruit, rose petal, truffle and savory herb. It will certainly improve over the next 20 years, growing into the full “tar and roses” Nebbiolo mold. But it’s also delicious and silky already from first pop-n-pour.
"Fragrant purple flower, red berry and wild herb aromas mingle in the glass together with a whiff of camphor. Tightly wound and linear, the youthfully austere palate shows crushed raspberry, Marasca cherry and star anise framed in taut, tightly knit tannins and bright acidity. Drink through 2031."
"A pretty red, this boasts strawberry, cherry, raspberry and rose aromas and flavors aligned to an elegant profile. Firm and intense, with a long, detailed aftertaste of fruit, rosemary and mineral accents. Best from 2025 through 2042. 850 cases made."
