Comparing a basic Italian Neb with a Virginia Neb. This entry level Barbaresco is a nice value, earthy dried cherry nose, some old leather, really nice balance and very good length.

Aug 30th, 2025A solid weeknight dinner-priced Barbaresco. Nose takes a while to get going but then shows some complexity, with crushed cherry, crushed stone dust, baking spice, a bit of a balsamic note. Medium-bodied, it’s got decently concentrated savory-leaning flavors, with medium acids and a dusting of very soft tannins. Use this as you would a good annata Chianti Classico.
