Tasting Notes
This wine features a quite restrained bouquet, delicately woven with notes of raspberry, pomegranate, and a hint of rhubarb. The aftertaste is long and warm. However, its enjoyment is somewhat hindered by harsh tannins and an overall lack of balance, which makes it challenging to drink on its own. This characteristic suggests that the wine is best paired with food to soften its assertive tannic structure and lack of individual voice.
About
For the 2020 bottle, the yield was 6,000 kg per hectare, producing 5,500 bottles. The producer adapts the production method depending on the harvest to achieve the best result. For the Barbaresco 2020, after alcoholic fermentation with a 20-day maceration in stainless steel vats, the future wine is moved to Slavonian oak barrels of 20-25 hectoliters for 22 months of malolactic fermentation before bottling.
