Producer: Produttori del Barbaresco

In Brief: A delicate and fragrant expression of Nebbiolo. The name Barbaresco comes from the Barbarica Silva tribe who took over the land after the fall of Rome. They lent their name to the region that became Barbaresco. This wine, though, is nothing but sophisticated. Calcareous clay soils allow wines such as this one to become delightfully aromatic. But it's still Nebbiolo. This wine is full of dried cherries and pressed rose petals with firm tannins that seem to last forever.
