Tasting notes
Lean in appearance with light ruby transparency, the Cantina del Pino 2020 Barbaresco Albesani (with 3,000 bottles created) shows savory notes on the bouquet with fresh berry fruit enhanced by smoke, tar and dark licorice. The wine also offers a more pronounced mineral note that frames a core of sweet fruit. The wine's intensity and its overall depth is very nicely played in this vintage. The Albesani site has typical Sant'Agata marl soils of sedimentary and marine origin (complete with fossils).

The 2020 Barbaresco Albesani is a delicate, understated wine. Open, floral aromatics and silky tannins give the 2020 quite a bit of charm. This is a relatively soft wine for Albesani, where the Barbarescos typically show more breadth, yet all the elements are nicely balanced.
Neive. Palish ruby. Concentrated and finely perfumed nose. Real class and depth. A core of raspberry fruit woven into finely chiselled tannins. Succulent and tightly knit on the finish. (WS)
