This distinguished 2017 Barbaresco presents a captivating deep purple hue that signals its complexity. On the nose, layers of dark stone fruits—black cherry, blackberry, and wild raspberry—meld seamlessly with subtle mint and licorice undertones, creating an inviting aromatic profile. The palate reveals nuanced notes of sweet tobacco and earthy minerality, while structured tannins evolve from initially robust to silky and refined. A lingering finish showcases remarkable depth and elegance, demonstrating the wine's impressive aging potential and sophisticated character.
The aromas of fresh rose petals are amazing with strawberries and citrus underneath. Full-bodied and layered with a complete, very linear and long finish. It turns tight and very serious at the end. Please give this at least five years to show it’s potential.
This tightly wound red is dense with black cherry, black currant, plum, tar and iron flavors as well as tannins. Shows a lot of power and persistence, with all the components in the right proportion, ending with a long, resonant aftertaste. Needs time. Best from 2024 through 2048.
