This special cru selection Barbaresco offers enormous intensity and persistency of flavor. This is a supremely elegant wine with ethereal aromas of cassis, tar, licorice and root beer. There’s tannic structure and a fine texture here and the wine should age well for many more years.——M.L.(12/1/2010)—— 93

Camp Gros Martinenga is located on the lower part of Rabaja at the heart of Barbaresco and produces wines with excellent expansion and staying power. This wine does an excellent job of highlighting elegance and tradition. It is streamlined and firm in the mouth with bright highlights of red currants, pressed violets and dried spice.——M.L.(4/1/2009)—— 91
