2016 Riserva Barbaresco.
Bright, shiny ruby red.
The nose of this wine is so floral….dark violets, roses and wild herbs.
Ripe black cherries, tobacco, truffles and mushrooms with a hint of menthol on the finish.
Bright, vibrant acidity pairs with close grained tannins to give a smooth, elegant finish.
We had mushroom risotto with black truffles with this wine. — 9 months ago

2022 vintage.
Basarico is Piedmontese for basil.
2.5 hectares of vines 20 years of age.
Bright pale green in colour with a nose of citrus, green herbs and tropical fruit.
Fresh and lively with grapefruit rind, lime zest and passion fruit.
Crisp acidity with minerality on the finish.
A fantastic seafood wine.
Exciting when it’s young but if you are patient…..give it 5 years.
It will be smooth and subtle. — 9 days ago
