Cantina Vignaioli (Elvio Pertinace)
Vigneto Castellizzano Barbaresco Nebbiolo


Thought It was time to drink this one and it turns out I was wrong. 5 years ago would have been better. It’s losing some of its berry and floral pleasure to leather and dusty earth, with notes of raisins and dates. Not quite the elegance I had hoped for with dinner, but that’s the way it goes sometimes.

Perhaos something odd with this bottle a bit tinny along with anise and leather and cedar.

Time to drink this one. And this bottle perhaps a bit tired. Leather orange peel and earth.

Good, but not fine barbaresco. Somewhat imbalanced and rustic.
