Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
Gets my highest marks as it is nearly perfect. Its extraordinary bouquet was reminiscent of what a fictional blend of Romanee Conti and Mouton Rothschild might taste like. Exotic, compelling, and incredibly complex, this rich, full bodied, wine has layers of extract and fruit. This is a stunning bottle of Barbaresco that can be drunk young, but ideally, should be consumed now-2015.

A bit more austere than the others, but it hangs a lot of flavor on an elegant frame, showing toasty, spicy raspberry aromas and flavors, tightly wound and long.
 

Additional Information

Region :
Italy
As the world’s top wine-exporter, Italy is an important wine region both because of the amount and quality of wines produced. Just two grapes—Nebbiolo and Sangiovese—are used to make some of the finest Italian wines, including Barolo, Brunello de Montalcino and Chianti. Still, Italy is home to dozens of wine grape varieties, with important wines being made from Corvina, Barbera, Cortese, Moscato and traditionally French varietals. The major wine regions include Piedmont, Tuscany, Emilia-Romagna, Veneto, Campania and others. Most producers follow the government-regulated DOC classification system, with a few notable exceptions including the esteemed “Super Tuscan” producers. View all our items from Italy
