Note di degustazione
The estate's 2001 Barbaresco Ovello concludes this very strong showing. It displays a dark ruby color along with extraordinary purity in its vibrant licorice, black cherry and toasted oak flavors, with much finesse, persistence on the palate and terrific underlying structure. A lovely lingering balsamic note frames the sublime finish. A great effort.

Medium red. Smoky aromas of redcurrant, tar and meat, with a liqueur-like quality. Smooth, sweet and expressive if a bit chunky and lacking in definition. Flavors lifted by a floral nuance. Finishes with slightly dry tannins and good but not outstanding length. (Ideal Wines, Medford MA ; Diamond Wine Merchants, Emeryville CA ; Cavatappi Distribution, Seattle WA
