Tasting notes

Deep red colour. Dark berries, sweet oak on the nose. Some hints of tar and slight floral high-notes. Powerful, round and oaky Barbaresco in the mouth. The oak takes the fruit and makes the wine simpler than a Barbaresco should be. Behind the oak, hints of dark berries, some tar. Sweet and round style with medium acids and surprisingly round and kind tannins in the finish for this grape. Too much oak in the balance and too little nebbiolo.
