The 1997 Barbaresco Tenuta Roncaglia exhibits a medium ruby color with garnet at the edge. A classic nose of rose petals, strawberry jam, tobacco, and spice emerges gracefully from the glass. Rich, savory, and fleshy, with sweet tannin, well-integrated acidity, and a moderately long finish, this 1997 should drink well for 10-12 years. Importer: Empson, USA, Alexandria, VA; tel.
