Bright and lively, this red evokes cherry, strawberry, floral, menthol and licorice flavors. A light dusting of tannins lines the finish. Should be approachable in a few years. Best from 2028 through 2040. 800 cases imported.

An overt style, the candied nose showing red fruits, raspberries, roses and a touch of gingerbread. Sweet and medium-bodied on the palate, this has refreshing acidity and velvety tannins that turn dustier in the savory finish. Try from 2026.

A translucent medium ruby hue, the 2022 Barbaresco is zesty and spicy on the nose with forward notes of anise, orange zest, fresh mint, cranberry, and dried earth. The palate shows the fruity and sunny side of the vintage, and it’s medium-framed and light on its feet, with a clean and easygoing feel. It’s not the most profound wine, but it offers a lot of immediate appeal. Drink 2025-2032.

Here's Nebbiolo showing its friendlier side, where ripe red cherries and autumn spices create an inviting welcome. The palate delivers that classic Barbaresco muscle but wraps it in silk, with tannins that grip just right and bright acidity that makes everything sing. A perfect introduction to the greatness of what Barbaresco has to offer.
