Hailing from the Montersino vineyard in Treiso, this 2016 bottling is a profound expression of one of Piedmont's most heralded vintages, benefiting from a season that delivered exceptional layering and structural precision.

 

The wine presents a vibrant dark ruby hue in the glass, leading into a sophisticated aromatic profile defined by linear notes of bright red fruit, licorice, and tilled earth, further complexed by hints of lavender, cinnamon, and menthol.

 

On the palate, it displays the "extra fullness and layering" that characterizes the 2016 harvest, according to lead critic Monica Larner of the Wine Advocate.

 

This full-bodied Barbaresco is built on a foundation of firm, chewy tannins and a focused acidity that carries the flavors through a long, persistent finish. "The wine pours from the bottle with a lively dark ruby color, and it delivers sharp and linear aromas of bright fruit, tilled earth and licorice," Monica Larner notes, capturing its authentic varietal character and brooding gravitas.
