The 2020 Barbaresco boasts an ample set of aromas with wild cherry blue flower sweet spice and crushed limestone. As always the wine paints an exciting and authentic portrait of Nebbiolo albeit with a little more richness and texture in this vintage. This is especially true in terms of the palate where the wine offers mid-weight intensity with melting tannins. This ambitious release of 300000 bottles is slated to hit the market in fall 2023. Aldo Vacca of Produttori del Barbaresco explains that the nine single-vineyard Barbaresco Riservas were not made in 2018 and therefore that whole program is absent from the estate's 2023 releases. However there is an exciting new addition to the portfolio the 2016 Barbaresco Riserva Don Fiorino which you will find reviewed here. - Monica Larner

Embrace the harmonious blend of cooked cherries infused with an array of mixed spices accompanied by subtle hints of medicinal herbs and rose water. Soft and rounded yet possessing a discernible edge this wine presents a fruit-forward profile loaded with flavors of cherry and raspberry all the while complemented by refreshing acidity. Its polished and elegant character develops throughout the bottle and will age deep into the future while still being great today. ? Jeff Porter

The 2020 Barbaresco is a lovely harmonious wine that will drink well with minimal cellaring. Forward fruit and soft curves are perhaps a bit uncharacteristic for young Barbaresco but that also make the wine very enjoyable. Juicy red cherry/plum fruit rose petal spice cedar mint and tobacco all meld together in the glass. Classicists will probably prefer other vintages but it's hard not to like the 2020 for its charming effusive personality. At the same time aeration brings out greater aromatic presence and a good deal of structure too. - By Antonio Galloni on September 2023
