Cantina del Pino Barbaresco Albesani 2011

del Pino

Case Format: 6x150cl

The Cantina del Pino Albesani Barbaresco is rich, round and enveloping. Warm southern exposure and a higher percentage of clay in the soil gives this wine structure, rich colour and ripeness. A wonderful dark red fruit complimented by spices, dried flowers and roses add complexity on the palate. The intensity of the fruit covers the tannins nicely, and with time the wine’s power becomes more evident.

Monica Larner

The 2011 Barbaresco Albesani is the wine that surprised me most among Cantina del Pinos new releases. It shows an exceptional level of focus and clarity with tight tannins at the back that keep it stitched together tightly. It shows an impressive level of unity and precision. The bouquet is slow to start, but once it does it delivers a steady stream of dark fruit, licorice, balsam herb and crushed mineral. The Albesani cru, with its thick clay soils, evidently had enough underground moisture to avoid heat stress on the vines during the hot summer.
