This wine, crafted from the rare Nebbiolo Rosé clone, immediately distinguishes itself with its aromatic intensity. On the nose, layers of dried violets and rose petals intertwine with nuanced notes of dark red fruits, such as macerated cherry and plum, and subtle hints of spice and licorice. The palate reveals a harmonious balance of power and elegance, with well-defined tannins and a lively acidity that provides a refreshing lift. Earthy undertones of underbrush and tobacco add depth, while the lingering finish leaves a memorable impression of both fruit and savory complexity. This Barbaresco, particularly in its magnum format, promises excellent aging potential, allowing its intricate flavors to further evolve and integrate over time

 

Cascina Baricchi is a small, traditional, family-owned winery located in the Piedmont region of Italy, known for crafting elegant, age-worthy Barbaresco. Led by Natale Simonetta and his wife Francesca, the estate is a champion of the rare Nebbiolo Rosé clone, which contributes to the wines' delicate and complex character. The winemaking is staunchly traditional, with foot-crushing for gentle extraction, long fermentations, extended maceration, and aging in large, neutral oak barrels. They use only natural yeasts for fermentation.
