This wine offers an unusual bouquet of candied cherry and cola aromas that are distinct to this wine. The Giribaldi 2018 Barbaresco has that interesting sweet side that I rather like, and although there is a savory side to the wine, with cedar and baking clove, its center of gravity defers to that candied cherry or crème de cassis characteristic. I'm not sure where exactly the wine's evolution will take it, and I am curious to find out.

Attractive cherry, plum and tobacco aromas and flavors get support from dense tannins in this pretty yet well-toned red, which still needs time for the tannins to soften, but shows harmony and a lingering aftertaste of spice and mineral. Best from 2013 through 2024. 100 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barbaresco Select to Add

Displays plum skin, with hints of citrus fruit and fresh mushroom. Full-bodied, with soft, silky tannins and a long, delicious finish. There's some tar and light vanilla in the aftertaste. Best after 2011. 1,160 cases made, 600 cases imported.??–JS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barbaresco Select to Add

Giribaldi’s Barbaresco is smoky and warm with layered tones of exotic spice, cola, leather, tobacco and leftover espresso grinds. It has gritty, earthy, hands-on appeal thanks to what can best be described as rustic charm (it is aged two years in traditional oak casks). Drink it with boiled meats and mint sauce.——M.L.(4/1/2009)—— 88

In a year where so many Barbarescos are heavy and slightly plummy, this is lighter and the fruit aromas are more primary. On the palate the flavors show elements of wild strawberries, lavender and smoke, and the wine is balanced and finishes well. A really pleasant Barbaresco that will evolve for a few more years.——M.G.(12/31/2007)—— 88
