Barbaresco tasting among beautiful wineries and rolling hills
Barbaresco has a structured profile and a beautiful deep, mature red color, with intense yet pleasant aromas. Its flavor and bouquet don’t reach Barolo’s power, but in some ways this makes it even more enjoyable and easier to appreciate. It appeals to a wider audience of wine lovers: both those with a palate used to bold flavors and those who prefer less full-bodied, less intense wines. You may hear that, when tasting, you’ll find rose and violet on the nose, then wild strawberry and cherries on the palate. It’s truly worth trying!
Barbaresco brings out both aromatic and flavor sensations, but in the production wineries it will also fill your eyes with many other impressions. Barbaresco wineries are beautiful to visit. Producers will let you taste their best Barbaresco—and you’ll be enchanted.
The Barbaresco production area is not very large. Located around Alba, it includes 4 municipalities: Barbaresco, Neive, Treiso, and San Rocco. In total, about 700 hectares of Nebbiolo. Producers fall into two categories: those who deliver their production (partly or entirely) to the Produttori del Barbaresco winery, and those who sell directly. Overall there are more than 100 producers, and they shape their wines based on the CRU. These are called crus: designations linked to the vineyard and its specific location.
