Ca' del Baio Barbaresco Vallegrande 2021 (750ML)

95 JS / 93 VM

Bright cherry fruit expression, velvety and full-bodied with great balance. It has a firm structure and is well packed with fruit. Elegant wine with great refinement and a long licorice and slightly chocolatey aftertaste. Drink or hold.—James Suckling

The 2021 Barbaresco Vallegrande is a complex, dynamic wine. Spice and floral inflections fill out the layers, giving this Barbaresco notable amplitude. Macerated dark cherry, leather, tobacco, dried flowers and incense develop later, adding layers of nuance. There's certainly plenty to like, starting with the wine's substance and overall palate presence-Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
