Cascina Baricchi 'Quindicianni' Barbaresco Riserva 2006

The 2006 Barbaresco Riserva Quindicianni is powerful and yet also remarkably fresh for a wine of its age. Silky and racy on the palate, the 2006 possesses striking aromatic presence to match its mid-weight, highly nuanced personality. Plum, blood orange, cinnamon and sweet red cherry give the 2006 an exotic sweetness and inner perfume that is just captivating. This is such a gorgeous wine.

Sourced from two parcels: Roncaglie in Barbaresco and Casasse in Neive.

A mix of clay with some limestone, chalk and sand.

In general the farming is practing organic although they will intervene as minimally as possible should the vintage require it. In July, the wine goes into 500 and 800 liter casks for five years. After that the wine spends ten years in the bottle in the cellar before its release.
