Here's a Nebbiolo that exudes character and personality. The 2010 Barbaresco Vigneto Bordini is a standout expression of the grape that walks that fine line between elegance and power that so many vintners seek to achieve. The balance here is impeccable. The bouquet shows dark fruit nuanced with good spice, tar, licorice and wild berry at the back. The mouthfeel is soft and supple with an enduring and silky texture.

Wild rosemary, juniper, myrtle and eucalyptus mark this austere red. The fruit is buried for now, but this shows a core of sweetness on the palate. Classically structured for the long haul, and will take some time to unwind. Best from 2017 through 2030. 800 cases made.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barbaresco Select to Add
