The 2013 Barbaresco Tre Stelle presents a classic, if somewhat subdued, portrait of Nebbiolo and the Barbaresco territory. The wine is austere and tight with black fruit, dried cherry, tar, grilled spice and cola. The aromatic delivery is tight and vertical in approach. In terms of mouthfeel, this wine wraps thickly over the palate with more dark fruit flavors dispensed along the way.
