The 2017 Barbaresco is a terrific wine to drink now and over the next decade or so. Ample and creamy, the 2017 is so inviting. Sweet red cherry, crushed flowers, mint, cedar, rose petal and blood orange give the 2017 an exotic character that is so appealing. Another year or two in bottle will help the tannins soften. This is nicely done. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, October 2020)

Not at its best showing, but not unlovely.

Approachable. Lots of floral character, dried pedals, pine tar, mud groom, and tilled garden dirt. Lighter mouthfeel, but classic Nebbiolo tannin. Cherry and strawberry fruit. Dusty. Delicious. Plenty of length.

These are usually good. This was a bit less expressive and more rustic than I was hoping for. Still good balance.
