This wine is made with the oldest vines at Sottimano's disposition and has a very exclusive availability at only 900 bottles produced. Two months of maceration, exposure to clay and three and a half years on the lees bring out notes of mint and balsamic herbal tones in this pretty expression. The 2010 Barbaresco Riserva is a very transparent wine with immense power, beauty and finesse. There are mineral shadings and beautiful details of licorice and a dusting of truffle: altogether an elegant expression of this terroir. This Riserva is set to appear again in 2013, 2015 and 2016. The first of those is still a year away from release as of this April 2019 tasting, so keep an eye out for it. By the way, I had reviewed this same wine last year, but I've decided to go ahead and print this double, more optimistic review regardless.

Tight and racy, this red exhibits cherry, raspberry, floral and tar flavors, matched to a fresh, firm structure. Gains richness with air, picking up a mineral note on the lingering aftertaste. Terrific length. Best from 2018 through 2030. 100 cases made.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barbaresco Select to Add
