Medium garnet coloration. On the nose, amarena cherry and vanilla. On the palate, medium to full body, cherry, balsamic, herbs, red berry and vanilla. Tannins still strong. Medium to long finish.

2023/2 with aged rib steak tagliata and radicchio salad. Still very young, with lots of body, slightly dark and reticent fruit and big tannins. With some air, though, deeper and purer fruit emerges on the nose; on day two, there are flowers as well as toasted brown sugar.

Really fabulous Barbaresco. Definitely have with food, though. Not a stand alone sipper.
