Barbaresco Masseria - 2006 - Barbaresco DOCG
Visual
Pale ruby colour, slight garnet hue.
Palate
With firm, ripe tannins, crisp acidity and feminine and round structure, this Barberesco shows incredible finesse with excellent balance, integration and a long, lingering finish.
Nose
Intense aromas of ripe cherries with intricate complexities of minerals, tea leaves and rose petals.
Winemaking
The malolactic is done in barriques and the wine ends its ageing in Slovenian oak casks for a total of 24 months. Bottled unfiltered.
"The 2006 Barbaresco Masseria is focused and energetic in its ripe red fruits, menthol, spices and minerals. There is lovely depth in the glass, not to mention tons of balance. This is a beautiful, poised Barbaresco from Vietti. The Masseria will require considerable patience but its balance is impeccable. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024.Vietti's commitment to quality across their entire range is commendable. I can't think of too many estates that can match Vietti for the number of utterly delicious bottlings that emerge from these cellars in Castiglione Falletto. Both 2006 and 2007 are highly successful vintages for the estate's Barberas. In recent years Vietti has moved towards a greater use of large, neutral oak for their Barberas and, as these wines amply show, the results are striking. These pure Barberas are exceptional from top to bottom, and even better, they are utterly divine at the dinner table." 93 Points The Wine Advocate
