Experience Piedmont’s pinnacle with this critically acclaimed Nebbiolo masterpiece from Barbaresco’s legendary Rio Sordo vineyard. Celebrated as one of Italy’s finest expressions of terroir-driven winemaking, this 97-point gem (Jeb Dunnuck) enchants with silky layers of kirsch-infused raspberry liqueur and blood orange zest. Its vibrant acidity dances alongside sweet tannins – lush yet structured for graceful aging beyond 2023.
Wine Advocate’s 96-point standout reveals profound depth: compact mineral undertones woven with candied licorice after decanting. Farmed meticulously by Alutto and Marengo families in this historic vintage, expect textural richness amplifying plum compote and wild cherry nuances. Wine Spectator (95 pts) highlights its evolving power – eucalyptus-kissed hay accents frame assertive tannins that promise decades-long evolution.
At 15% ABV, this collector’s rarity balances immediate elegance with cellar potential. Unlike fleeting vintages, its tension-driven backbone ensures unfolding complexity through 2040+. Ideal for discerning enthusiasts seeking investment-grade Italian reds or unforgettable pairings with truffle risotto or aged cheeses.
Fine & Rare allocation – limited quantities.
