Such wonderful clarity and perfume to this with strawberry and candied citrus, yet it’s always so subtle and vivid. Full-bodied and very powerful with lots of well integrated tannins. Makes you stand to attention and notice it. Give this six or seven years of bottle age.
Barbaresco. A shade deeper than the Costa Russi. Deep, youthful and just mid crimson. Gorgeous, layered raspberry fruit with a savoury, minerally undertow. Finely tuned, with hardly perceptible oak. Great concentration of cool raspberry fruit that is wonderfully light of touch on the palate. Firm but fine tannins on the finish, while the cool fruit closes up. Pure leggerezza (lightness of touch) combined with tannic muscle – that of an athlete, not a body builder. (WS)
