As the wine opens, it reveals a garden full of ripe raspberries, rosebuds, thyme and dried leaves. The elegance of this wine cannot be overstated. A finesse that showcases the beauty of this vintage. A bowl of cherries sits on the palate as fine and elegant tannins prop up the fruits and allow a mineral edge to glide in as vibrant acidity keeps everything bright and fresh. Drink now–2040.

A well-delineated red, bursting with energy, along with aromas and flavors of cherry, strawberry, rose, tar, licorice and sweet spices. Dense and vibrant, with a long aftertaste echoing the spice notes. Best from 2026 through 2042. 5,000 cases made, 2,000 cases imported.

The medium ruby/red 2021 Barbaresco is fresh and inviting with aromas of grenadine, raspberries, orange, mint, and fresh thyme. Elegant and medium-bodied, it continues with wonderfully fresh energy on the palate, revealing fine tannins, a fresh, even spine of acidity, a nice touch of citrus, and a clean, mineral-toned finish. I love the saline notes and freshness throughout. It’s very well done. Drink 2024-2034.
