Barbaresco Cottà

Medium

Cork

With a warm west-to southwest positioning, the estate’s small slice of Cottà sits mid-slope, dominated by vines planted in 1962. The 2023 exhibits the floral marker of the vintage with a supporting spicy accent. Violet, lavender and sage blossom are among its attractive perfumes. A stony, petrichor snap underscores the red plum palate. Lean tannins provide a balancing frame. Like the 2022 edition, this vintage is less commanding than previous years, but it still subtly flexes sinewy muscles.
