"A jeweled ruby color, the 2021 Barbaresco is fresh and inviting with aromas of fresh red cherries, raspberries seeds, lifted wet stone, fresh roses, and fresh thyme. Elegant and medium-bodied, it's spritely on the palate, with zesty acidity, a hint of gamey, iron-rich earth, and an orange citrus note on the finish. It's a savory and charming wine to enjoy over the next 6-7 years."
