Luigi Voghera Barbaresco Basarin 2020 750ml

A fantastic Barbaresco, very small production, that is the Voghera family’s flagship, single-vineyard wine. The grapes come from a small and very sandy portion of the 5 acre, 62-year-old vineyard of Nebbiolo on the hillsides outside of Neive, that have an incredible southeastern exposure to the sun. Hand selected fruit is fermented in stainless steel tanks before it is moved into large French oak barrels for a full 2 years. This is an excellent example of traditionally styled Barbaresco that can sit next to the greatest Nebbiolo wines of the region. Rich and full aromas of dark earth, violets, bark, spices and sour cherry fill the glass, and evolve greatly with plenty of time to breathe. The palate follows suit, and has a full-bodied, tannic mouth feel that is beautifully long with lingering notes of spice, leather, and chocolate. Decant in order to enjoy the full richness and beautiful elegance of this wine, as it is one of the finest examples of small estate Barbaresco available.
