This is a delicious Single Vineyard Barolo. Soft and elegant. Tangy and interesting.
Elegant and fruity. Well balanced and complex. The high alcohol is nicely integrated.
Still very young, but already very approachable, and enjoyable even by itself. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.
I tried it before bottling with the wine maker. What a great experience.
Easy drinking and good by itself as a sipping wine, but good with food too.

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of four days. Best of Day 4. The 2020 Classico pours a beautiful garnet color with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of tart and ripe red fruits: strawberries, cherry lozenges, pink roses, tar, talcum powder and dry earth. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose though the fruit comes across more ripe than tart. The finish is long and saline. This is an elegant, sexy Barolo with sneaky power that’s only revealed with enormous exposure to air at this stage. Drink now with patience and through 2040. — 24 days ago

This is a very young Barbaresco from Piedmont. Fruity and fresh, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
Starting to show some complexity already. Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime.
A good food wine that will pair nicely with game meats.
