Entry standards: producers and UK brokers had been invited to submit village or MGA-level Barbarescos, with a most of two wines per producer and ideally to incorporate one present classic and one older classic, or two completely different crus
The outcomes of this Barbaresco panel tasting had been spectacular, with 46 wines (simply over half) scoring 90 factors or above.
It was dominated by the constantly enticing and newly launched 2019 classic, represented by 54 wines.
These balanced, fruity and structured wines are accessible of their youth however, generally, also needs to age properly. That is in keeping with current traits within the area, the place even Barolos at the moment are being made in a much less demanding and dense model so that customers are now not obliged to cellar these wines for a decade or extra.
