The description below comes from the retailer. Bottle details and price comparisons are listed above.

Among the most prestigious and renowned red wines of Piedmont, Barbaresco is also one of Italy's smallest DOCG areas. As required by this rigorous geographical designation, Barbaresco is aged for two years – including at least nine months in wooden barrels – which gives it great character and aromatic complexity. Deeply influenced by its microclimate and terroir, this Barbaresco comes from a particularly hot, dry area with limestone soils, producing a softer Nebbiolo. With a vibrant colour, the 2020 vintage offers a bouquet of fruity scents, reminiscent of red fruit jam and violets, complemented by spicy and toasty aromas. On the palate, the lovely acidity and pronounced tannins, typical of the appellation, reach their peak after around ten years.
