The 2000 Barbaresco Santo Stefanetto, dark in color and intense in aroma, suffers from an excessive oakiness in this phase of its development, and the oak tannins give a slight hardness to the texture, though there is more extract and concentration than in Bricco Mondino. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2014.
