Baricchi 2015 Barbaresco Riserva Rose delle Casasse – Rare Nebbiolo from Piedmont

Experience the extraordinary character of this 96-point Vinous rated Barbaresco from Italy’s prestigious Piedmont region. Crafted from century-old vines (planted in 1913) of the rare Rose clone Nebbiolo, this limited-production wine showcases why Barbaresco remains one of Italy’s most collectible appellations.

Tasting Profile:
The 2015 vintage reveals an aromatic explosion of blood orange, wild cherry, and rose petals, with intriguing layers of kirsch, warm spices, and mint. The extended 4-year oak aging (in both barriques and medium casks) contributes structure while preserving the wine’s vibrant fruit core. As noted by James Suckling (94 pts), expect a full-bodied palate with chewy tannins leading to an exceptionally long finish carrying flavors of dried strawberries and leather.
