From the iconic Vigneto Nervo vineyard, this 1996 Barbaresco has matured into a wine of depth and elegance. The nose is a beautiful blend of dark berries, dried fruit, and earthy elements, with subtle notes of tobacco and leather that speak to the age and character of this Nebbiolo.

On the palate, it shows the integration of soft tannins and vibrant acidity that provides balance, while flavors of dark fruit, spice, and dried roses unfold. As the wine continues to evolve in the glass, more complex layers of forest floor and dried herbs emerge, adding to its richness. The finish is long, with a smooth, lingering presence of fruit and earth.

This Barbaresco pairs beautifully with roasted meats, truffles, or aged cheeses. Its complexity makes it a wine to enjoy now, but it still has the potential to evolve further for those who prefer to hold onto it longer.
