Terredavino Barbaresco DOCG 2012

Barbaresco takes it name from an ancient village in the Langhe, in few kilometres from Alba. The distinctive characteristics of this wine derive from the acute sensitivity to climate variations of the nebbiolo grape (here 100%), which gives Barbaresco different sensory qualities than a wine from the same variety in the nearby town of Barolo. This particular Barbaresco is sourced from superlative vineyards in the communes of Barbaresco and Treiso. It has an alcohol level of 13.5%, and has matured at least 2 years, half of that in large oak botti. Garnet-edged ruby, rich, evolved, pleasant, hinting of violets, dry, sturdy, and full-bodied, with subdued tannins, silky and harmonious
