Medium ruby. The Barbaresco offers open, floral nose and sweet red fruit on a medium-bodied frame with modest depth and complexity. It should drink well to age twelve. Made from a blend of fruit sourced from Barbaresco, Treiso, and Neive.
Good medium red. Pretty, aromatic nose combines red cherry, marzipan, flowers, spices and licorice. Slightly firm-edged and withdrawn, dominated by its solid acidity and tannic structure today. Harder at present than the 2001 Nebbiolo Occhetti, and more tightly wound.
