Cedar, Amalfi lemons, potpourri and cranberries on the nose. Firmly structured with chewy tannins and citrusy acidity, while remaining medium-bodied. Tight and fresh. Try from 2027.

Expressive, this red exudes black cherry, leather, tar and a touch of wild herb aromas and flavors. This has ample flesh to offset the firm structure, and the finish is framed by subtle vanilla and toasty oak. Excellent length. Best from 2026 through 2043. 400 cases made, 140 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barbaresco Select to Add

The 2019 Barbaresco Basarin shows tight, filigreed aromas of wild cherry, plum, violet and licorice. There is also a very distinct mineral note that resembles crushed stone or talc powder. It gives the wine sharp contours and brightness. The wine is dry with silky tannins, but there is a hint of sweet currant or forest berry that adds a pretty moment of softness to the palate.

Toasty oak wraps around the plum and cherry fruit in this lush red. Accents of menthol, tar and tobacco chime in as this builds to a long finish. Balanced and fresh, but needs time to integrate the oak. Best from 2023 through 2042. 400 cases made, 150 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barbaresco Select to Add

The 2016 Barbaresco Basarin (with 6,000 bottles made) shows some evident oak definition with very ripe fruit, dark cherry and exotic spice. The Basarin is aged in oak for 18 months. This wine offers thick textural fiber and lots of succulent richness. It brings a lot of volume and depth, although the quality of the Nebbiolo here just may be a touch too ripe, and I have reduced the drinking window as a result. Some 6,000 bottles were made.
