Barbaresco Meruzzano

Medium

Cork

The second-largest sub-district of the Barbaresco denomination, Meruzzano extends to its southernmost limits, encompassing a range of altitudes. ‘Quota 449’ references the upper limit of Orlando Abrigo’s vineyards there. It is a rather strapping wine, though not without intrigue. Smoky tea and potting soil tangle with wild brambles. There is plenty of substance to fill out its larger frame, and the tannins are broad and grainy, drying out a bit on the finish – but the piercing acidity almost makes you forget that.
