2019 Barbaresco Produttori del Barbaresco the 2018 Champagne Vintage Brut

the 2018 Champagne Vintage Brut Rosé pours a bright but deeper shade of pink with an orange hue and is forward with aromas of ripe raspberry

this has a wonderful interplay of hardcore minerality and juicy fruit

Wine Spectator 93 points: A linear style

the 2018 Flaccianello is not a wine of size

with character and sensibility that’s reminiscent of some of the great Sassicaias from the 1980s

2019 Barbaresco Produttori del Barbaresco the 2018 Champagne Vintage BrutSuckling 93, This is extremely floral and bright on the nose with lavender, violets and dark berries. Orange peel too. Full bodied and solid with firm tannins and a tight finish. Better in 2024.
