A jeweled ruby and orange hue, the 2016 Barbaresco Riserva Santo Stefano is an energetic red with the perfume of blood orange, wild raspberry, and anise. It is complex and vibrant, with beautiful freshness and refined tannins within a svelte and medium frame, and it has great balance. This is in a fantastic place now but can be drunk any time over the next 20 years.

The 2016 Barbaresco Riserva Albesani Santo Stefano is a potent wine. The concentrated style and strong oak imprint make the 2016 feel a bit pushed. Black plum, chocolate, leather and game are front and center, as are tannins that lack polish.
