Barbaresco Martinenga

Medium

Cork

I tasted this soon after bottling, then again blind six months later – it has truly come into its own and is undoubtedly among the vintage’s successes. Expressing complexities slowly, it wafts with freshly turned earth, dry dusty rose, nutmeg, smoke and wild forest berries. Pretty, elegant and slim in build without lacking depth, the pristine, juicy fruit is superbly balanced with grainy tannins and underlying citrussy acidity. Martinenga’s innate class is on full display. Note that the estate also made their Camp Gros and Gaiun bottlings in 2022: I look forward to trying these next year.
