The 2010 Barbaresco Rio Sordo shows crushed flowers, tobacco, dried mint, mocha and loads of pretty red berry. There’s a sparkle, or a shine, to the bouquet that is really something special. The wine speaks to the amazing results that can be achieved when Nebbiolo is allowed to sing solo without too much technique or meddling in the winery. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025. Cascina delle Rose is among the estates that most impressed me during this last visit to the Langhe. I found myself ordering, and reordering, the lower-end wines at the various trattorie I love in Alba. Various American Importers, including: Polaner Selections, Mount Kisco, NY; tel.
