2020 Ca’ del Baio ‘Vallegrande Riserva’ - Barbaresco
Tasting Notes
Garnet with a brick-toned rim. The nose is deep and perfumed, with aromas of dried cherry, rose petals, and forest floor layered with spice and subtle tar. On the palate, it’s concentrated and elegant, with firm tannins supporting notes of ripe red fruit, dried herbs, and a mineral spine. The finish is long and refined, showing both power and finesse.
