Tasting notes
The 2015 Barbaresco Riserva Santo Stefano is richer with extract while remaining medium-bodied, with more warmth and a spiced feel in its notes of red plum, leather, tea leaf, and bergamot. It has a ripe, present tannin structure and is a little more approachable in terms of its acidity. Ripe with red cherry, forest herbs, and leather, it is in a good place for drinking now or over the next 10 to 15 years.

The 2015 Barbaresco Riserva Albesani is potent and deep, but it is also a bit forward in its flavor profile. I would prefer to drink it over the next handful of years, before the fruit starts to fade. Dark red fruit, tar, licorice and earthy notes infuse the somber finish in this imposing Riserva from Castello di Neive.
