The 2007 Barbaresco Vigneto Brich Ronchi is a seductive Barbaresco endowed with superb purity and definition in its dark red fruit. Texturally brilliant and refined, the Brich Ronchi impresses for its fabulous concentration and equally remarkable finesse. There is a weightless elegance to the Bric Ronchi in this vintage that I find particularly appealing, and in a big way. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2022.

A picture of elegance, this Barbaresco exudes rose, strawberry, raspberry and spice flavors, picking up a chewy texture as it cruises to a long finish. Medium-weight, vibrant and harmonious. Best from 2013 through 2028.

Vigneto Brich Ronchi opens with bright and plump fruit tones that recall black currant, cherry and cassis followed by elegant tones of smoke, leather and tobacco. The wine is intense and powerful with a soft, velvety texture backed by structured tannins that give it backbone and staying power. Very nice.

This offers intense aromas of blueberries, blackberries, and hints of spices. Full bodied, with plenty of fruit and a polished, silky textured finish. Gorgeous stuff. Pull the cork after 2013.

Good deep red-ruby. Sweet cherry, blackberry, violet, licorice and marzipan on the nose. Lush on entry, then sweet, ripe and energetic in the middle, with firm minerality and tannic grip extending the finish and accentuating its impression of perfume. I like this wine's combination of insidious sweetness and ripe, integrated acidity. A serious and savory Barbaresco with no shortage of energy.
