WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
The 2021 vintage began with a mild winter and ample rainfall, which set the stage for a great growing season despite a drier summer. Vine growth was healthy with minimal frost damage, leading to the harvest beginning in mid-September. Nebbiolo grapes exhibited a rich sugar content and vibrant acidity, resulting in wines that are exceptionally well-balanced and poised for aging. Overall, despite some weather challenges, the 2021 vintage stands out for its impressive grape quality.
TASTING NOTES:
This is a really solid, meaty and mouth-filling Barbaresco that offers vivid red fruit with floral and mineral nuances and hints of licorice and cedar. Medium- to full-bodied with compact, velvety tannins that form the backbone of the wine, showing impressive concentration and length.
- James Suckling, 93 pts.
