Barbaresco Basarin

Medium

Cork

Riserva

Within the large expanse of Basarin, the Gianmatè vineyard stands out for its sturdy structure, making it well-suited for a Riserva. It has been vinified separately since 2004, after Giacosa Fratelli purchased the plot. It's oak-driven in style, but handles its wood well. Penetrating scents of candied violet and rose essence arise through mocha and eucalyptus. Weighty and intense, the palate is still tightly coiled. Dark brambly berries are infused with nutmeg and clove. The compact tannins are dry, yet a sense of balance and purity prevails. Give it another year at least.
