this dense ruby/purple-colored wine shows a complex nose of earth
bread crust and subtle oxidative complexity
with the estate’s flagship Terre Alte white consistently earning scores in the 93 to 96 range from Wine Advocate
Over time the Barbaresco gains a measure of freshness
the palate reveals an austere wine that has a large personality but is superbly balanced
