Barbaresco Albesani

Cork

Made from 50-plus-year-old vines, this MGA bottling is more overtly mineral driven than the classic Barbaresco. It also demonstrates greater density yet is still gorgeously perfumed with raspberry, strawberry, mint and rose.  Juicy acidity brings inner radiance, and those chalky, savoury minerals cleanse the mouth. The extra depth and length are worth the price of admission, but both make for worthwhile purchases. Franco Massolino notes that given the tiny bunches, Albesani produced approximately 50% less than average in 2022, making green harvest unnecessary.
