Roncaglie Barbaresco Nebbiolo
Barbaresco, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
Reddish in color with a brick hue.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with mild complexity and a soft mouthfeel.
Showing red and black fruits with wood, tobacco leaf, vegetables, spices, peppercorn, earth and black tea.
Medium plus on the finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This 6 year old Single Vineyard Barbaresco is starting to drink very nicely. Not as approachable as the 2017, though.
Still young, but already enjoyable, even by itself. A good food wine too. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
100% Nebbiolo grapes were aged in French oak barrels for 18 months.
15% alcohol by volume.

I had the 2015 Riserva not too long ago and loved it as well.

Took a while to open up, but when it did, this light wine has teeth-staining tannins, pretty lavender accents and a bitter cherry finish that carries on forever. Definitely drinkable now but this wine is so young, could age for a decade before truly balancing out.

Extremely pretty and perfumed on the nice. Ripe cherry fruits, acid and tannin (despite young vintage) actually quite well integrated and smooth. Paired with recipe from Antica Torre Restaurant Barbaresco....perfect.
