Note di degustazione
The smallest production, the 2013 Barbaresco Riserva Camp Gros is the reserve cuvée. It spent a year in French oak followed by 16 months in Slavonian oak casks prior to bottling. It shows a kiss of that French oak right on opening, but that quickly fades into the background and more Bing cherry, violet, and road tar notes emerge. Nicely textured, medium-bodied, and balanced, it shows the cooler, slightly austere style of the vintage while still possessing plenty of sweet fruit and texture. It's drinking nicely today yet certainly has another 15+ years of prime time ahead of it.

I love the tension and the glossy elegance here. The 2013 Barbaresco Riserva Camp Gros Martinenga is silky, bright and buoyant. It is complete and shows a lot of depth. It offers fresh acidity, and while it has a lean approach, it definitely has impressive length. This wine should evolve nicely over the next 10-20 years.
A wine of reserve and tension, the 2013 Barbaresco Riserva Camp Gros Martinenga is going to need at least a few years in bottle to be at its very best. Today, the Riserva Camp Gros Martinenga is somewhat unyielding, but also persistent and beautifully focused, with striking aromatics and a core of sweet, perfumed fruit that just needs time to emerge. Aeration in the glass brings out hints of lavender, sage, mint and rose petal to round things out. Although it is embryonic, the 2013 clearly possesses tremendous balance and class, not to mention tons of potential.
Barbaresco. Tasted blind. Just mid ruby with orange tinges. Lifted, perfumed and complex nose with hints of cardamom pod. Generous fruit that is elegant at the same time and with beautiful coating tannins. Great balance and style, but contained. (WS)
