Barbaresco
See Barbaresco producers See a list of Barbaresco wines See map
The Piedmontese DOCG zone of Barbaresco is responsible for producing some of Italy’s finest wines. It occupies the same region and uses the same grape (Nebbiolo) as its bigger brother Barolo but is a third of the size (only 640ha versus Barolo’s 1700 ha). It is also 50 years younger than Barolo, having produced wine labelled ‘Barbaresco’ since 1890.
Barbaresco earned its DOCG (after Barolo) in 1980 largely thanks to the efforts of Angelo Gaja. The soils are lighter here – both in colour and weight – than in Barolo and more calcareous. The slopes are also less favourably situated and consequently yield earlier-maturing (relatively speaking) although extremely elegant wines that require less oak ageing (normally 1 year in oak plus 6 months in bottle). The appellation’s key districts are Barbaresco, Treiso, Neive and Alba.
Recommended producers: Cigliuti, Gaja, Marchesi di Gresy

"Aged only in large slavonian botte, this fine wine benefited from the hot summer to give extremely luscious and elegant, super-ripe strawberry and dried fruit flavours. Seems approachable now but would be even better over the next 3-5 years. Excellent with tuna." (David Berry Green - BBR ... MORE | ||||

Reassuringly pale brick red, taut yet delicate, with a deft sense of dark, spicy, licorice-coated berried fruit, of verve, of purpose. Barbaresco Rio Sordo is moreishly gentle to taste, with bright, succulent, refreshingly pure, with cleansing acidity, a certain profondita, of noble charm and ... MORE Drink 2010-2016 . | ||||

A more than worthy successor to Cigliuti family's excellent 2001 vintage, the single-vineyard Vigna Erte is made in a very traditional fashion and aged for 25 months in large slavonian botte, so allowing the sweet rich strawberry fruit and tea aromas, as well as lush, pacy mulberry flavours ...

In what seems a novel twist Luca Roagna blends vintages of Barbaresco under the 'Opera Prima' label; something in fact his father Alfredo started doing in 1982 to give brand homogeneity, albeit for only a few hundred cases! For me it also allows customers to tune into the unique Roagna style. This ... MORE | ||||

From the gentler sloping, south facing Bricco di Neive vineyard, 'Vigna Erte' is all about grace and softness (compared to the firmer minerally structure of Serraboella). Bottled in Sept 2008 after 18 months in large Slavonian oak, the nose swirls with classic tea-leaf and summer berry characters, ... MORE Drink 2010-2020 . | ||||

A top-notch, complex Barbaresco from this excellent producer. Perfumed on the nose, expressive on the palate with quite rich, spice-edging fruit, yet with good acidity and harmony. Polished tannins, quite intense and warm on the finish. | ||||

With its seductive perfume, this is classic Nebbiolo, full of sour cherry and rose-petal flavours, and tightly bound in a muscular structure of fine tannins and savoury acidity. (Anthony Rose - The Independent - 16-Jan-2010) | ||||

Compared to its sister wine 'Vigna Erte', the older vine, single-vineyard Serraboella is altogether denser, meatier even with rich round black cherry and china tea notes; the palate's more hedonistic too, with bragging power and fleshy voluptuousness.

An early harvest, with some producers forced to rush picking ahead of the October rains. Consequently there's a sense of lifted red cherry stone freshness and delightful perfume about this Barbaresco wine; certainly no 2004 or 2006 even, but just perhaps a wine of great finesse in the years to ...

"The 2004 Costa Russi is irresistibly sexy and opulent. As is typically the case, the wine is more overtly fruit-driven, with a round, supple personality. Sweet, long and richly-textured, it is just plain awesome in its display of generous, vibrant fruit, tar, smoke, minerals and herbs. It is the ... MORE The Wine Advocate Score: 95/100 | ||||
