2016 Marinacci Barbaresco
San Francisco Wine Panel Score 92 Points
This elegant young wine offers forthcoming aromas of strawberry galette, dry red rose and roasted red peppers, poised above subtle notes of red berry compote and five spice. The savory spice seems stronger on the palate where star anise brings a sweet hint in support of the rich red fruit and rose petal flavors. It is stylish, sleek and lingering, with dinner worthy balance that allows pleasurable drinking right now and promises future pleasure.
