2022 Barbaresco

Tasting notes:

The nose has great intensity and persistence, with notes of ripe cherry, strawberry and raspberry, sweet spices such as juniper and pink pepper, and floral notes of rose. On the palate, the entry is voluminous, with elegant and unobtrusive sweet tannins. The main trait is freshness, which on the finish leaves a citrusy aftertaste that entices drinking.
