Francesco Versio learned at the side of the legendary Bruno Giacosa team and is now one of Piedmont's most sought-after young traditionalists, working tiny plots in the Neive corner of Barbaresco. His winemaking is classic to the core: long macerations and aging in large old casks. This Barbaresco shows the perfumed, elegant face of Nebbiolo, with rose, red cherry, tar, and dried herbs over fine, firm tannins. The 2022 is youthful and will reward a few years in the cellar, though a decant brings plenty of pleasure now.

"The 2022 Barbaresco is a pretty, open-knit Barbaresco. Crushed flowers, cedar, tobacco and dried autumn leaves meld into a core of sweet red cherry fruit. This delicate, mid-weight Barbaresco is already quite enjoyable. I would not push my luck with aging." —Antonio Galloni

"Iris, camphor, dark spice and forest floor are just some of the aromas you’ll find on the wonderfully fragrant Francesco Versio 2022 Barbaresco. Utterly delicious, the palate doles out ripe raspberry, Morello cherry, cinnamon and dried mint alongside taut, fine-grained tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it beautifully balanced and energized. Drink 2028–2034." —Kerin O'Keefe
