Fratelli Serio Battista Borgogno Barbaresco
$43.99
The quintessential Barbaresco, this wine is stacked with deep red fruits, savory herbs, and rose petals, all supported by a spine of dark minerality. On the palate you’ll find a taut but giving wine, with tannins that grip a bit before softening, ultimately giving way to a long, layered finish. Prime for drinking upon release, those with patience will be dually rewarded.
"Rose-petal, woodland-berry, clove and wild herb aromas are front and center on this fragrant red along with a whiff of camphor. From the heart of this legendary vineyard area, the focused, elegantly structured palate features pomegranate, crushed raspberry, star anise and a hint of cinnamon framed in tightly knit fine-grained tannins. Bright acidity keeps it balanced and lends enough energy for long cellaring."
