TERRE winery (Italy)
BARBARESCO, 2009
Tasted January 2012
Was advised to buy Terre as perfect example of 'classic' Barbaresco. That was lucky purchase indeed: exciting, enveloping & powerful!
Promising appearance of intense dark bloody-red colour, violet rim.
Fantastic palette of fragrances: kaleidoscope of spices, dried cranberries, chokeberries and black currant leaves. Pleasantly high on acidity and tannins, in mouth reveals flavors of tart dark berries, dried tomatoes, rustic spices, earth. Persistent finish makes it nice company to lamb chops, bbq, truffles / porcini meals.
Not sure it's classic Barbaresco, but I do like it.
