“Austere. He was dressed in a rough robe that was considered sacred, his head was bowed and the posture upright during the religious procession. The Batù, laypeople belonging to the eponymous confraternity”.
An ethereal and mysteriously charming Barbaresco, with a bright garnet color. The bouquet is intense and spicy, evolving from dry rose, dried cherry, red fruit jam, and raspberry, to explosive notes of cinnamon, clove, allspice, and tobacco, with hints of vanilla and a whiff of cedar in the finish. The flavor is vigorous, complex yet delicate, with beautiful balance, extremely well-integrated tannins, and supple edges.
92 James Suckling Fresh and almost vinous style here. On the nose it shines with strawberries and dried cherries, fresh flowers and sweet spices. Very crunchy on the medium- to full-bodied palate, due to firm yet dynamic tannins that are dusty but ripe. Crisp acidity and a simple finish, which will improve with bottle age. Try from 2026.
91 Wine Enthusiast This Barbaresco dances between delicacy and exuberance as if walking through a garden where raspberry bushes meet a wall of climbing roses. The perfume is almost intoxicating, with rose water floating in the air, yet it never loses its poise. Each sip brings a surge of bright, lip-smacking red fruits that wake up the palate, while fresh currants add a playful tartness. The abundant florals weave through it all like silk ribbons, creating an enchanting tension between power and grace. It's a wine that speaks with youthful confidence but never forgets its noble roots. Drink Now - 2040. Editors' Choice
