Description
This mature Barbaresco displays a brick-garnet core with warm amber highlights, reflecting its elegant evolution over more than fifty years. On the nose, it reveals refined aromas of dried red cherries, rose petals, gentle spice, and subtle earthy undertones of leather and forest floor. The palate is silky and balanced, with softened yet persistent tannins supporting flavours of candied cherry, orange zest, and hints of cedar and truffle. The finish is long, layered, and lingering, showcasing the wine’s depth, finesse, and classic Piedmontese character.
Decanting: Stand the bottle upright for 24 hours to allow sediment to settle. Decant gently through a fine strainer and let it breathe for 1–2 hours. Serve at 16–18°C to fully appreciate its complex aromatics and refined structure.
