An added layer of wood spice and toasted oak gives this expression of Nebbiolo rounder and softer appeal. The concentration is also denser and the wine imparts plush cherry notes followed by tight tannins and a squeaky, polished mouthfeel. Drink after 2012.

Earthy mineral tones are backed by blackberry, licorice, cassis and currant berries to shape an intense but traditional Barbaresco. The mouthfeel is smooth yet firm and compact thanks to the solid nature of its tannins. Drink this wine no later than 2018.
