Ripe dark-skinned fruit, mocha and grilled herb aromas mingle with violet and pipe tobacco on this delicious red. Smooth and savory, the polished palate delivers dried cherry, orange rind and licorice alongside tightly knit, fine-grained tannins and bright acidity. Drink 2025–2032.

The 2020 Barbaresco slowly reveals delicate fruit with finely tuned aromas of wild cherry, tar, rose and pencil shaving. That darker mineral note gives this vintage a deeper, more baritone quality. But Nebbiolo's characteristic brightness shines through. The 2020 tannins are more immediate overall, and the wine's mouthfeel is slender and firm. This is a 35,000-bottle release.

Candied cherries, wild herbs and darker flowers, with subtle violet notes, create a very pretty aromatic profile. Well-structured, it showcases a great balance, with supple tannins and lifted acidity. While it can be enjoyed now, a bit more time in the cellar would be beneficial. Drink from 2024–2040.

Aromas of dried cherries with crushed flowers, red spices and orange peel. Medium- to full-bodied with velvety tannins with some chewiness to it. Textured and polished with a vivid red fruit character. Crunchy finish. Try after 2025.
