The Story
A beautifully detailed, elegant single-vineyard Barbaresco sourced from the high-elevation Montersino cru. The bouquet opens with fragrant aromas of fresh citrus, blood oranges, wild rosemary, and red cherries, accented by subtle sweet spices and cinnamon. On the palate, it delivers a medium-bodied, savory texture where the pure red fruit core is guided by silky, lightly framed tannins and a crisp, vibrant acidity. The finish is tight, precise, and impressively focused, leaving a lingering impression of savory minerals and dried cherries.
Food Pairing: Roasted game birds, truffle-infused dishes, wild mushroom risotto, and grilled lamb.
93 Points - James Suckling
"This wine shows aromas of citrus, blood oranges, rosemary, subtle sweet spices and cinnamon. Lightly framed tannins with an almost silky texture, crisp acidity and a tight yet precise, youthful finish. Drinkable now, but best from 2026."
92 Points - Wine Spectator
"An intense version, this red evokes macerated cherry, plum, menthol, tobacco and spice flavors. Vibrant and harmonious, with fine length and grip. Best from 2027 through 2040. 200 cases made, 50 cases imported."
