The 2020 Barbaresco Basarin is rich and supple on the palate, with silky tannins that wrap it all together. Black cherry fruit, leather, spice, menthol and mocha are all amplified in this potent yet well balanced, young Barbaresco.

A sinewy red marked by assertive tannins today, yet this has an impression of sweet, ripe cherry fruit within. The long finish is infiltrated by eucalyptus, iron, tar and tobacco flavors.

Strawberry compote and plump cherries lead a warm and spiced nose that feels immediately generous and ready to go, where dark baking spice adds real depth without slowing anything down. The palate is juicy and forward with plenty of red-fruit energy and a lively warmth that keeps the experience vibrant from start to finish. This is Basarin and Barbaresco showing their fun side and making a compelling case for opening it tonight.
