Baricchi Barbaresco Rose delle Casasse Riserva DOCG 2015

VM 96 pts 

The 2015 Barbaresco Riserva Rose delle Casasse is one of the most distinctive wines in all of Piedmont. It emerges from a tiny parcel in Neive first planted in 1913 with the Rose clone of Nebbiolo known for its aromatic intensity that is rarely seen these days. Deeply bright and perfumed the 2015 offers up an exotic mélange of sweet red cherry blood orange mint spice rose petal and kirsch. There’s terrific depth and plenty of substance to wrap it all together. The 2015 spent four years in wood a combination of small barrels and medium-sized casks. The 2015 is an exquisite wine and a Barbaresco of real character.
