Although the 2010 Barbaresco Martinenga is sold out, Alberto di Gresy and I wanted to make a record of it in the Wine Advocate database. The reason is simple: This is a stunning and impeccable wine that deserves every extra bit of attention. The bouquet is generous and full with lingering tones of balsam herb, forest berry and dark cola. The effect is elegant, polished and smooth. I think this may be the most beautiful Barbaresco Martinenga produced in recent memory. If you have a bottle, hold onto it tight. Some 12,500 bottles were produced.
