Abrigo’s 2007 Barbaresco Rocche is darker and richer than the Rongalio, but the greater intensity of the fruit is matched by a commensurate gain in tannic heft. With time in the glass the tannins begin to soften, allowing plums, black cherries, menthol and spices to emerge in a round, enveloping style. There is a wonderful sense of vibrancy that flows through to the long, impeccable finish. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2022.
This year I tasted a wide range of wines from Abrigo, a small producer who seems to do his best work with Nebbiolo. The Barbareschi in particular are impressive and point to a talented grower who seems to be getting the most from his vineyards.
