One of the highlights in this range, the 2017 Barbaresco Cottà possesses tremendous depth along with the sheer breadth that is the key signature of this Neive cru. Black cherry, plum, leather, licorice, mint and lavender soar out of the glass, all with the backing of serious tannins that are going to need time to soften. This is impressive stuff. 95 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous (Oct 2020) Very pretty and balanced with ripe-strawberry, citrus and cedar aromas and flavors. It’s medium-bodied with polish and refinement for the vintage. Better after 2023.

This broad red is marked by ripe cherry and plum flavors while also flexing some serious muscle and structure. Though firm and tightly packed, the beam of fruit remains consistent, emerging intact on the long, earth- and tobacco-tinged finish. Best from 2023 through 2042. 150 cases made, 20 cases imported.

Camphor, violet and ripe forest-berry aromas come to the forefront. It's enveloping and elegantly structured, doling out juicy black cherry, crushed cranberry and tobacco set against taut, fine-grained tannins.
