Tasting notes

100% nebbiolo rosa. The wine is made as an attempt to copy the style of Enrico Giovannini-Morescos famous "Podere del Pajore" which was made between 1967-80. Perhaps one of the finest Barbarescos ever made. Deep red colour. Darker than expected, but there is a transparency in the colour. Fruity and floral nose at first. Quite primary fruit. Also nice high-noted florality. Perhaps a little like a grignolino. With time in the glass the nose gets more complex. Hints of anise, some tar, minerality, dust. In the mouth this is a fullbodied Barbaresco with great fruit-concentration. Lots of fruit. Again it is in a very primary stage. The fruit is transparent and through the fruit-notes you find a lot of florality, anise-notes and minerality. Fine acidity. Dry tannins in the back. Tannic end. A special Barbaresco that has concentration of fruit, great focus and transparency. It is very young and primary yet. Try it again in 4-5 years. Great wine.
