The 2020 Barbaresco Bordini (with fruit from the village of Neive) shows medium-rich density with more texture and structure in this vintage. The Bordini is a little more austere in character and hearty overall. That extra stuffing is accompanied by an open-knit approach that makes this wine approachable in the medium term. Or you could wait, if that's your choice. Some 10,000 bottles were released.

Neive. Mid-to-deep ruby with orange tinges. Savoury/stalky and with a hint of leather. On the palate, the fruit is a little suppressed, while the chewy tannins dominate the finish. There is aromatic length, though, but I wonder if the fruit will ever really come out. (WS)
