Love good value Italians! This (2017)will be excellent in a few more years, but was drinking quite well even now. Juicy and tart red fruit up front, bright tomatoes, a touch of fennel, paprika, earthy funkiness too. It was an excellent pairing with a beef short rib pasta sauce. I will be hunting down more bottles to add to my rotation.

The 2016 Barbaresco Cavanna is bold, punchy and full of character. I suppose technically, the Cavanna is a bit rustic, but there is just so much personality in the glass that I am willing to look past some of the more angular contours. Readers will find a deep, vibrant, old-school Barbaresco that offers a good bit of intensity as well as brawn. A burst of red berry fruit, iron, cedar, smoke and anise punctuates the substantial, super-expressive finish. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, October 2020)
