By Angelo Negro, Roero, Piemonte, Italy
A Barbaresco Riserva from Cascina Basarin in Neive, aged 50 months in Slavonian oak and bottle.
Tasting notes
Intense ruby red with orange highlights with age. Fresh bouquet of rose, violet, small red fruit and brushwood, with spicy pepper and vanilla. Elegant, austere palate with pleasant tannic persistence and a silky, long finish of raspberry and currant jam.
