Going back in time, the 2006 Barbaresco Riserva Serraboella is a modern and bright expression that boasts good use of oak to soften the wine’s natural acidity and sharpness. Dark chocolate and carob seed segue to ethereal tones of licorice, cola, dried herb and forest berry. The wine is put together nicely and will promise seamless evolution over the next ten years. Drink: 2015-2025.
