The Carlo Giacosa house blend — and one of the smartest ways into modern Barbaresco. "Narin" is the Piemontese dialect nickname for Donato, the founder of this fourth-generation family estate in the Barbaresco commune. Today Maria Grazia and her son Luca farm just five hectares spread across some of the most prestigious crus in the village, and Narin pulls fruit from three of them — Asili, Cole, and Ovello — for a bottling that distills the estate's whole signature into one wine. 2016 was a legendary Barbaresco vintage: cool, classical, structured. Nine years on, this is right at the start of its drinking window — generous and gracious already, but built for the long haul.

Wine Spectator

92 points

"A solid red, offering cherry, strawberry, floral and earth notes. It's balanced, with refined tannins and a lingering finish. Best from 2022 through 2038."

Kerin O'Keefe

93 points

"Rose, crushed herb, forest berry and tilled soil aromas align with enticing whiffs of aromatic herb. Focused and boasting both tension and loads of flavor, the elegant palate doles out crunchy red cherry, pomegranate and sage alongside taut tannins and vibrant acidity." —Kerin O'Keefe

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Open an hour ahead of dinner. Excellent with agnolotti del plin in butter and sage, braised rabbit, roast veal with mushrooms, or grilled lamb chops. Cheese course: a moderately aged Toma or Bra Duro from the Cuneo hills.

Tasting Profile

Perfumed, layered, classical. Rose, dried strawberry, sweet cherry, tar, white truffle, and a savory undertone of dried herbs. Mid-weight body, fine tannin, bright acid. Beginning to open and showing real generosity.
