Barbaresco

Medium

Cork

Despite extreme summer heat, the excessive rain in spring generated big berries with lots of juice, according to Gaia Gaja. Rather than translating as dilution, the estate Barbaresco is beautifully proportioned. It conveys a sense of ethereal weightlessness and delicacy with strength. Starting from aromas of cedar and rooibos tea, it evolves to cinnamon, cardamom and spring flowers. Midweight and streamlined, this stretches out with long, silky tannins effortlessly enfolding bright forest berries. Accents of clove and star anise are neatly embedded. A zesty finish explodes with spiced citrus. It feels ready to drink yet is not in a hurry.
