Though the Nebbiolo grape is the heart of both Barbaresco and Barolo wines, where those grapes are grown produces very different expressions. Barolos are often described as powerful, while Barbarescos are ascribed more delicate qualities. Certainly this Barbaresco is a graceful wine with gossamer aromas of strawberries, cherries and wood spice. It has a Burgundian delicacy in the mouth with cherry, red plum and strawberry fruit accompanied by savory, spicy, herbal notes in perfect harmony. Vibrant acidity and burnished tannins complete this charming wine.
