Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"From the blend of grapes from various vineyards of the Monfalletto Estate in Lamorrese and Roero. Differing altitudes and exposures lend to a complexity of aromas. Varying ages of vines, from clay and sandy soils.
Intense violet colour. Mature fruit, cacao, prune, spicy, fragrant nose. Full and fresh mouth. Very soft tannins."
92/100 JamesSuckling.com (2022 Vintage)
"This is fresh and dark-fruited with hints of cocoa and sweet licorice. Medium-bodied with plenty of ripe dark berry and floral undertones. Tannins are ripe and crunchy with a vivid finish. Delicious. Drink now."
92/100 Aaron Brasher, The Real Review, April 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"Barbera has always played second fiddle to the mighty nebbiolo in Piedmont, but this variety can offer more plushness and juiciness, and more accessibility, compared to the more tightly bound and supremely tannic wines of Barolo and Barbaresco. This wine is no exception: full of fleshy dark fruits, it has real generosity of flavour and plenty of structure to allow it to age for years to come.
Bright and lively in the glass. Lifted aromas of dark cherry, blackberry, anise, dried flowers, violets and spice. Generously flavoured, with plenty of plum, mulberry and sweet spice at the core. The tannins are firm and drying and the acidity brings ping and zip. Smart drinking."
