Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco 2022

Bright and overtly fruity, this is full of intoxicating violets, cinnamon, blood oranges and black cherries, expressing mint and balsamic depth. Full-bodied with a soft, smooth attack, dusty yet velvety tannins and brilliant acidity. The chocolaty finish shows licorice and a mouth-coating texture. Delicious and balanced. Drink or hold.

Packed with cherry and raspberry flavors, this red is round and succulent, with a fleshy profile and a solid base of tannins. Mineral and menthol accents add depth, and the finish is fresh and long. Best from 2028 through 2042. 25,000 cases made, 600 cases imported.

Dark fruits and firm structure remind us why this co-op has been the neighborhood’s best dinner party secret for generations. The palate brings that same trusted pleasure, where depth and volume prove sometimes the best bottles come from many hands working as one. Editor’s Choice.

The 2022 Barbaresco is a jeweled red color and aromatic of ripe raspberry liqueur, fresh cherries, sweet herbs, and pressed flowers. Medium-bodied, it has a slightly broader, rounder shoulder, with ripe tannins and a clean, even finish. It is juicy, and while it might not be as complex as the 2021, it doesn’t feel the alcohol, which is certainly a bit higher in this vintage as well. Drink 2025-2040.
