The 2019 Barbaresco Mondino is soft, open-knit and very easy to like, with lovely up-front fruit and bright acids to play off its mid-weight structure. This accessible, inviting Barbaresco is all charm. Vibrant acids reappear on the finish, adding lift to the finish and closing with a kick of energy. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, October 2022)

Oct 27th, 2022An attractive, mid-weight wine, Busso's 2018 Barbaresco Mondino offers plenty of up-front appeal and charm. Cherries in liqueur, cinnamon, dried rose petal and new leather lend aromatic presence. I would give the nervy tannins a few years to soften here, but would also not wait too long, as the 2018 comes across as a near-term drinker. The alcohol feels a bit pronounced here, otherwise the 2018 is nicely done. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, February 2022)

The wine is a terrific offering for those getting into the category. There is a beautiful expression of fruit on the palate with round tannins that give a sense of place , which is quite nice for a Barbaresco of this caliber. Very nice style and it has accessibility young , which is great. Definitely worth a try and will not disappoint!
