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.

Really excellent but a bit tannic to have without food.

Pretty nice find. Full of ripe red fruits, brimming acidity and integrated tannins.

Bright with subtle herbacious notes. Solid earth notes underneath

We had the 2015 Vintage on 10/30-31/21. Medium bodied with tannins that needed time to smooth out. A bouquet and palate with raspberry, strawberry, cinnamon and an earthy spice. A good Barbaresco.
