Mandatory aging period for Barbaresco Riserva DOCG is 50 months starting November 1st of the harvesting year. At least 9 months must be in big barrels. This reserva spends around 3 years in oak and is made only from the best grapes in the best vintages. This producer works only in minimal intervention with very low sulfites and without using any additive. Perfumed with roses, dark berries, ash, asphalt, and sliced plums. Full body, ultra-fine tannins and a juicy, savory finish. Orange and lemon peel undertones. Gorgeous finish. Hard not to drink now.
