WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Made with nebbiolo grapes from the oldest vines in the Rombone vineyard. Bright garnet red in colour, our flagship Barbaresco is complex on the nose, full-flavoured and warm on the palate, where the tannins, already elegant when the wine is young, will grow gradually more refined to ensure long, happy ageing. Barbaresco Rombone should also be suitable oxygenated before drinking and goes well with braised and roast beef and veal, stews, game, truffle dishes and mature cheeses.
TASTING NOTES:
Nada's flagship Barbaresco Rombone is superb in 2013. Translucent and weightless, the intensity of Rombone comes through in an especially understated voice relative to the more explosive personality this wine usually shows. Exotic spice and mentholated notes round out the dark, balsamic-inflected notes. The Rombone spent one year in French oak and a second year in cask. In this vintage, the Rombone also comes across as a bit less modern in interpretation than in the past.
