Important news for lovers of classic reds and bargain hunters alike. This small parcel of outstanding barbaresco is at a price unheard-of for a wine of this pedigree... Traditionally this wine goes to mainland europe but the buyer pulled out last minute ... Enabling head buyer thomas woolrych to swoop and secure it for you at an amazing deal. Barbaresco is a northern italian classic crafted exclusively from revered nebbiolo. The grape is famous worldwide for barolo, but in piedmont barbaresco is king thanks to its greater elegance and all-round 'drinkability'. In short, it's a serious red tailor-made for rich local dishes that once tried, you simply can't resist coming back for again! brick red colour which suggests a light wine - this is anything but! aromas of rose petal and tar (classic nebbiolo traits) and rich layers of dark cherry and subtle oak. Ripe, perfectly integrated tannins make this the perfect foil for roasted meats. Great now and good to cellar until 2010. |
