Tasting Notes
The 2013 Barbaresco sees fruit sourced from four separate vineyard sites across the appellation. The wine is aged in a combination of small and large oak barrel and is released one years later tan its peers. Those extra 12 months of a bottle aging have done a lot to improve the wine's integration and elegance. It also gives the wine more immediate appeal. In fact, this Barbaresco is ready to drink pretty much out of the gate. The mounthfeel is silky and soft and the bouquet offers a continuos stream of small fruit, cherry and licorice aromas. 91 Points - Monica larner (The Wine Advocate)
Arguably Italy’s most important fine wine region, Piedmont is synonymous with Nebbiolo, Barolo, and Barbaresco. It’s also home to a wide array of other compelling reds and whites that range from the austere to the juicy and joyful.
LOCATION:
Northwest Italy, bordering France and Switzerland, with the Alps to the north and the Apennines to the south.
TERROIR:
Rolling hills and foggy mornings define Langhe and Roero. Soils are mostly calcareous marl with sandy or clay-rich layers depending on the site. Continental climate with cold winters and warm summers.
VARIETIES:
Nebbiolo is king, producing powerful, tannic reds. Barbera and Dolcetto round out the red trio. For whites, look to Arneis, Cortese (Gavi), and Timorasso. Moscato is important in the Asti area.
