The 2008 Barbaresco Vigna Erte Bricco di Neive shows gorgeous finesse and fabulous inner sweetness in a medium-bodied style that is undeniably attractive. Sweet red cherries, tobacco and spices are some of the notes that emerge from the Vigna Erte. These relatively recently planted vines seem to be giving better and better results with each passing vintage. Bright floral notes appear on the finish, adding lift and energy to the focused close. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2022. Importers: Indigenous Selections, Fort Lauderdale FL; tel. (954) 530-4021; David Vincent Selection, Union, NJ; tel.
