Red
Barbaresco
By Cantina Flori, Barbaresco, Piemonte, Italy
The estate's flagship Barbaresco, a classic Nebbiolo from old Treiso vines, aged in large Slavonian oak. It drinks well now and rewards a few years in the cellar.
Tasting notes
Ruby red with violet hues in its youth, purplish red tilting to garnet at the edges in the 2022. Ethereal and intense, with fruity and floral aromas: cherry jam, tar, rose petals and subtle herbal undertones. Full-bodied and well structured, with fine tannins and lively acidity.
Pairs well with
Anything off the grill, cream-sauced pasta (especially with mushrooms), green pea risotto.
