"A bright medium red color, the 2022 Barbaresco takes on spicy aromas of cinnamon, cranberries, mint, and fresh flowers. On the palate, it™s inviting and medium-framed, with a weightless feel, fine tannins, even acidity, and mouthwatering notes of salted orange on the finish. It has a delicate fruity feel, and while it might not be the most age-worthy in the range, it™s quite appealing now and will drink well over the next 6-8 years."

"A jeweled ruby color, the 2021 Barbaresco is fresh and inviting with aromas of fresh red cherries, raspberries seeds, lifted wet stone, fresh roses, and fresh thyme. Elegant and medium-bodied, it™s spritely on the palate, with zesty acidity, a hint of gamey, iron-rich earth, and an orange citrus note on the finish. It™s a savory and charming wine to enjoy over the next 6-7 years."
