Camphor, rose and red berry aromas shape the enticing nose on this savory red. The linear, structured palate is all about finesse, featuring ripe Morello cherry, crushed strawberry and star anise alongside taut, polished tannins and fresh acidity.

The 2018 Barbaresco shows a slightly sweet side with dried plum or cherry confit. But there is a tart fruit and savory side as well that veers toward grilled rosemary, spice and iron ore. These unfold quickly as the wine takes on more air in the glass. These results are accessible and very pretty. The wine awards you a straight-shooting expression of Barbaresco that is balanced and proper. About 10,000 bottles were released.

Pretty nose of wild red fruit, fresh nuts and flowers. A tinge of orange rind rounds it off nicely. Medium-bodied with well-placed nebbiolo acidity and lightly firm tannins that do little to impede the overall freshness. Good, balanced length. This is in a good place now, but will be even better from 2023.
