Wine Expert Note:

Cantina del Nebbiolo Barbaresco shimmers in the glass with a pale ruby hue. The nose reveals notes of fresh and tart red fruits such as cherry and raspberry, along with floral notes of rose petals and lavender. On the palate, it showcases a harmonious balance between its fruit flavors and its assertive tannic structure. It is has a full body, with a lean texture driven by a core of firm acidity. The flavors of ripe red fruits persist on the finish, accompanied by hints of spices, tobacco, and earthy undertones.
