2022 Ca’ del Baio ‘Vallegrande’ - Barbaresco
Tasting Notes
Deep garnet with refined clarity. Complex aromas of black cherry, rose petal, and sandalwood are joined by subtle hints of tar and spice. The palate is structured and precise, with ripe red fruit, silky tannins, and earthy depth. The finish is long and poised, echoing with mineral and floral notes.
