Tangy cherry and raspberry aromas are lifted by flowers and mint on the cool, inviting nose. Silky-sweet and floral, with lovely inner-mouth juiciness to its red berry flavors. Owing to the wine's moderate body and flesh, the tannins show a slightly dryness but the long, juicy finish offers enticing floral perfume. A lovely, sharply delineated Barbaresco at a very reasonable price.

The 2010 Barbaresco is a pretty, slender wine endowed with lovely energy and class. Sweet red berries, flowers, mint and spice inform this high-toned, fragrant Barbaresco. The mid-weight personality of the vintage at the Produttori is evident. I would give the 2010 a few years in bottle and drink it to age 20. This is the kind of wine that can surprise on the upside. 89+
