The 2020 Barbaresco boasts an ample set of aromas with wild cherry, blue flower, sweet spice and crushed limestone. As always, the wine paints an exciting and authentic portrait of Nebbiolo, albeit with a little more richness and texture in this vintage. This is especially true in terms of the palate, where the wine offers mid-weight intensity with melting tannins.
Plum and cherry flavors are shaded by wild scrub and crisp tannins in this compact red. The balance is on the tannic side today, yet there's ample length, so give this a year or two to settle in. Best from 2026 through 2038

Now, this is one brilliant Piedmontese red, we have no qualms bragging about. This full bodied Barbaresco sits majestically at number 7 in Wine Spectator's Top 100 of 2025 with 94 points which is a very big deal. The accolades are deserving for this stunning Nebbiolo wine produced by the unique creativity of the Produttori del Barbaresco cooperative which brings together over 50 grape growing families. Under the stewardship of winemaking director Aldo Vacca, the cooperative has taken Barbaresco quality to the next level and this expression is fine proof, showing elegant fruit and intense mouthfeel laced with minerality and smooth tannins. The literal cherry on top for this decorated wine comes from the unforgiving critic Robert Parker who says, "the wine paints an exciting and authentic portrait of Nebbiolo. Enough said.
