2022 Castello di Verduno Barbaresco

An extremely elegant release with very moderate alcohol of just 13.5%.  This elegance is in keeping with all Mario's 2022s.

17/20 Jancis Robinson (Walter Speller) - "Youthful mid ruby. Spicy cherry fruit with quite a bit of oomph. Plenty of juice and substance and with firm tannins. Can age but already a delight." (WS)

93 Points, Kerin O'Keefe - "The fragrant 2022 Barbaresco from Castello di Verduno opens with heady aromas of blue flower, woodland berry and botanical herb. On the luminous palate, tangy acidity accompanies juicy red cherry, wild strawberry, star anise and spiced orange peel. Tightly knit, fine-grained tannins provide support."
