Red
Albesani Vigna Borgese
By Piero Busso, Barbaresco, Piemonte, Italy
The Neive Barbaresco from the Borgese vineyard in the Albesani MGA: elegant and intense, lighter in style, with well-defined tannins. Offered as a good way into Barbaresco.
Tasting notes
Garnet red, harmonious and balanced on the nose. Full and elegant on the palate with a noble tannic weave. Intense, but not too demanding.
