The 2012 Barbaresco Albesani follows in the feminine and graceful style that is so unique to the wines of Cantina del Pino. Dark fruit and wild cherry are followed by light shadings of spice, tobacco and licorice. The wine shows very good integration and balance. That seamless integration follows through to the palate, thanks also to the wine’s long persistence.

A pretty red, offering cherry, strawberry, floral and anise flavors. Fleshy and dense, with balance and a fine aftertaste. Mouthcoating tannins belie the lingering fruit and spice elements. Best from 2018 through 2028. 200 cases made, 100 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barbaresco Select to Add
