Barbaresco Albesani

Medium

Cork

While Pierguido was initially undecided if he would bottle his 2022 single-vineyard expression separately, the outcome is here. However, the estate will not release any Riserva, which means this Vigna Borgese includes all the plots planted by his grandfather Guido in 1948. It is a multifaceted Barbaresco of contrasting elements. Exotic blossoms and sweet spice mingle with damp earth, tea and tar. There is a ripe, almost mellowed character to the dark fruit, yet the tannins are austere, vertical and flinty. Sturdy and dense yet not heavy, this just wants a bit more time to find its harmony.
