Barbaresco Meruzzano

Medium

Cork

This small estate of 4ha proposes two single-site MGA bottlings. My preference in 2022 is for the Meruzzano, which sees ageing in large casks rather than tonneaux. It leads with a charming nose of cedar, sweet spice and cherry. Rather weighty with surprising plushness of fruit, leather and vanilla infuse the dark berry core. That fleshiness helps offset rather rigid tannins and balances out the hefty alcohol, while cooling acidity keeps it buoyant. Finishes with clove and ginger.
