Description
This mature Barbaresco displays a warm brick-garnet colour with soft amber highlights. The nose is elegant and nuanced, offering dried red berries, rose petal, subtle spice, and hints of leather and forest floor. On the palate, it is silky and balanced, with softened yet structured tannins supporting flavours of dried cherry, candied orange peel, and delicate earthy undertones. The finish is long, refined, and lingering, with echoes of spice, cedar, and gentle leather.
Decanting: Stand the bottle upright for at least 24 hours to settle sediment. Decant slowly through a fine strainer and allow 1–2 hours to breathe. Serve at 16–18°C to fully appreciate its layered aromas and elegance.
