This Riserva expression of Barbaresco opens with a light ruby color and charred aromas of wood, spice and smoke. You’ll also identify cherry cola, tar, licorice and violet. The mouthfeel is silky with an enduring impression of smoked meat flavors on the finish.

Indian spice, cardamom, clove and dried berry aromas open the nose. The palate has a raw, chewy quality, so give this 10 more years of cellar aging.

A slightly bitter aroma of citrus or sour spice opens the nose of this Riserva Barbaresco. There’s also a hint of dried apple or pear and the wine follows with a tight, lean mouthfeel.
