Pretty dark garnet color. Very fresh and youthful aromas of blueberry and fresh flowers and hints of mineral. Full-bodied, with a dense and solid core of ripe fruit. Yet it's cool and racy. This still needs time.--1998 Piedmont blind retrospective (2008). Best after 2011. 225 cases made, 50 cases imported.??–JS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barbaresco Select to Add
