BARBARESCO Riserva Sottimano 2013

The Sottimano 2013 Barbaresco Riserva is dense and explosive right out of the gate. Rich dark fruit, kirsch, blood orange, cloves, licorice and leather power through. The Riserva, a selection of old-vine fruit from Cottá and Pajorè is a big wine that, in 2013, captures the house style of the era, a time when the wines were marked quite a bit by French oak and just as Sottimano was beginning to experiment with longer macerations. As such, it is a wine that belongs to a previous era here. Over the last few months the elements have started to come together nicely.
