Barale Fratelli Serraboella Barbaresco 2021 (750ml)

From the Serraboella vineyard in the Neive commune, everything about this wine points to the more immediate approachability of Barbaresco. Crimson blue tones in the glass, with high-powered crimson berry and a gentle balsamic edge aromatic offering a vibrant and exciting opening, a gravelly dustiness hinting at its imminent textural feel. Theres plenty of darker cherry flavour to follow, including pip and skin, with a foundation layer of ripe tannins supportive of all its inner pleasures, a moreish tingle of acidity to finish. A joy to drink.
