The 2015 vintage is very distinctive across Barbaresco, thanks to its ripe, almost sweet fruit flavors. You definitely get them in the 2015 Barbaresco San Cristoforo. The wine emits thick aromas of cherry liqueur, dried blackberry and dark plum. It sports a deep garnet color with good intensity (Nebbiolo tends to lose color in hot vintages like this). The wine is very delicate in terms of texture, with soft tannins that barely grace the palate. Some 8,000 bottles were made.
