Castello di Verduno, Barbaresco (Piedmont, Italy) 2012

May 24, 2016

By Michael Franz

Completely successful in terms of aromatics and flavor, this is very showy from start to finish.  There’s almost no hint of wood influence, which makes the wine’s performance even more impressive, as it seems entirely based on the quality of the fruit.  The flavors are sweet, soft, savory and succulent, and yet the wine remains fresh, which is an uncanny but delightful combination.
