2020 Nada Fiorenzo Barbaresco Manzola, Barbaresco DOCG, Italy (750ml)

WINEMAKER'S NOTES: 

Made with the nebbiolo grapes picked in the Manzola vineyard, one of the most historic Barbaresco microzones. Its bright red garnet colour heralds an expansive floral bouquet and a sapid, austere palate. Already elegant when young, it acquires total harmony with age. Following suitable oxygenation, it gives of its best with roast and braised beef and veal, rabbit, lamb, hard cheeses and, aged at least ten years, biscuits and pastries.

TASTING NOTES: 

The 2020 Barbaresco Manzola is a bright, classically austere Barbaresco with all the signatures of this site. Macerated cherry, white pepper, chalk, white flowers and mint are all beautifully delineated. Sculpted and precise, with terrific persistence, the 2020 is a fine Barbaresco from Nada. Give this a few years in bottle.
