Barbaresco Rio Sordo

Medium

Cork

Riserva

In addition to a trio of Barbaresco annata bottlings, the Marengo family selects the best grapes from their three plots, blending them to craft a Riserva. A seductive nose leads with damp earth, cocoa and tobacco; dried florals intensify with each swirl. This is beautifully weighted and harmonious. Potpourri notes re-emerge but it is the mineral aspect that triumphs on the palate. Subtle wood notes are neatly tucked in. Acidity is bright, and the long-chained tannins are smooth with a chalky afterbite. Resolutely structured and ageworthy. Just 1,500 bottles produced.
