The 2020 Barbaresco Nubiola is lifted, aromatically expressive and a real delight. Cedar, sweet pipe tobacco, mint, dried flowers and crushed red berry fruit give the 2020 its high-toned personality. There's plenty of fruit and structure behind it. Give this a few years in bottle. The tannins are a bit present today, but that is always the style of this wine. A few years in bottle should do the trick.

The 2020 Barbaresco Nubiola has a dark, blackish brick red color anad is ripe and sappy on the nose, with notes of black licorice, sandalwood, black cherry pit, tobacco leaf, and worn leather. Its oak spice penetrates the palate with notes of bourbon spice and cedar, and it reveals ripe tannins and an expansive, full-bodied richness. A brooding and contemplative wine, it demands some cellar time to come together but offers a warming feel ideal for cozying up to the fireplace. Drink 2026-2046.
