The 2012 Barbaresco Vigneto Bordini is a fascinating wine that really stands apart from its peers. I can't say that everyone will love it, but you can't deny the originality and sheer character of this wine. There is an exotic element to the bouquet that comes off as clove, licorice and barbecue smoke. This is a very aromatic rendition of Nebbiolo. This year those opulent spice tones are more graceful and feminine.

A mix of animal, vegetal and steeped cherry aromas and flavors turn to black currant and violet notes with air. Elegant, showing sweet fruit midpalate before finishing with assertive tannins. Best from 2019 through 2035. 1,083 cases made.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barbaresco Select to Add
