The straight 2022 Barbaresco from Produttori del Barbaresco is fragrant and refined, with aromas of blue flower, red berry, citrus and balsamic whi of eucalyptus. Surprisingly fresh and juicy for the hot, extremely dry vintage, it boast flavors of tart red cherry, orange zest and star anise alongside taut, refined tannins that leave some grip on the finish. Drink through 2030.
