Intense garnet red, which over the years tends towards orange. Perfume of violet and dog rose with hints of spices, licorice and jam. Dry taste, pleasantly tannic and harmonious, of gentle robustness that reveals consistency and extraordinary aristocracy.
This wine goes well with red meat dishes, game and aged cheeses.

Fresh and lifted, the 2018 Barbaresco Basarin is forward with notes of dusty earth, anise, and dried apricot. The palate is medium-bodied and reveals notes of blood orange, dried raspberry, and tea leaf. Another finessed and approachable wine from the Adriano estate’s 2018s, it can be enjoyed now or over the next 10-11 years. Drink 2021-2032.
