A beefy style, this red shows a beam of cherry, shaded by oak spice, earth and licorice notes. Turns leaner, with dense tannins lining the finish. This will need some time in bottle to relax.

The La Ganghija 2016 Barbaresco offers a classic read of the vintage with balanced aromas of wild berry, dried fruit, licorice, aniseed and camphor ash. If you are looking for an honest and straight-shooting Nebbiolo, this wine offers pretty authenticity and complexity. The tannins are integrated, dry and silky, but the wine should continue its easy aging trajectory over the next 10 years.

Aromas of cherry and cinnamon lead off, followed by flavors of strawberry, cherry, menthol and tobacco. Lean and taut, with fine-grained tannins offering support. Best from 2022 through 2036. 11,000 cases made, 120 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barbaresco Select to Add
